Portrait of an Unknown Man 1520 Chalk, 365 x 258 mm Staatliche Museen, Berlin This is typical of the great late portraits. The line and the representation of form are fully refined, everything momentary in movement and expression being omitted. The subject fills most of the space; there is a dark background with a light band on top.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Portrait of an Unknown Man Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait 1520 Chalk, 365 x 258 mm Staatliche Museen, Berlin This is typical of the great late portraits.

Portrait of Ulrich Gemälde IDENTIFIZIERUNG:: 63631
Portrait of Ulrich 1522 Chalk and charcoal, 415 x 320 mm Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna This is a preliminary drawing for the woodcut of the same year, which carries over the line work almost completely ?not only the tight wavy parallel lines in the neck, but also the broad downward flow of the line over the shoulders (truly characteristic of a freehand drawing). Only the ear is more cartilaginous in the woodcut, and the background is composed of pure horizontal lines.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Portrait of Ulrich Varnb?hler Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait 1522 Chalk and charcoal, 415 x 320 mm Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna This is a preliminary drawing for the woodcut of the same year, which carries over the line work almost completely ?not only the tight wavy parallel lines in the neck, but also the broad downward flow of the line over the shoulders (truly characteristic of a freehand drawing).

Deposition 1512 Engraving, 117 x 74 mm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Sheet No. 13 of the Engraved Passion. In this case the engraved and woodcut version can be easily compared. Both were executed at about the same time. One is the most complicated, the other the simplest solution. In the engraving some of the dignity is sacrificed by the complicated overlappings, as in the case of Christ's body. The woodcut version of the Small Passion was difficult to surpass in the engraving. D?rer decided to use the tomb as seen from the front, making for the interesting overlappings. The gentle dignity of the woodcut version was, however, lost. It is not quite clear which one of the praying women is the Virgin Mary.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Deposition (No. 13) Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious 1512 Engraving, 117 x 74 mm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Sheet No. 13 of the Engraved Passion.

The Lamentation 1522 Silverpoint, 293 x 416 mm Kunsthalle, Bremen The corpse is leaning against the knee of the Magdalen, who is seated on the ground. The Virgin is raising Christ's head and holding his left arm on her lap. St John and Joseph of Arimathea are visible in half length. This is an extremely significant sketch for a painting in the late style, in which form is entirely saturated with expression.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: The Lamentation Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious 1522 Silverpoint, 293 x 416 mm Kunsthalle, Bremen The corpse is leaning against the knee of the Magdalen, who is seated on the ground.
