Christ on the Mount of Olives
1521 Pen and ink, 208 x 294 mm St?delsches Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt Christ is lying completely flat on the ground ("fell on his face, and prayed"); D?rer could have seen this posture depicted by Mantegna. The rocks in starlike layers and the veil of mist pressing down from above lend support to the effect of the motif. The Apostles are small and are sitting off to a side by themselves.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Christ on the Mount of Olives Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious

Coat-of-Arms with a Skull
1503 Engraving, 220 x 156 mm Art Institute, Chicago This engraving is not mentioned in D?rer's diary of his trip to the Low Countries in 1520/21. The subject seems to be connected with the Bavarian War of 1503. Duke George the Rich had died that year without male issue. Contrary to Imperial law, he left his lands to his daughter. This led to the War of the Bavarian Succession, in which the city of Nuremberg was deeply involved. Her army captured much of the surrounding territory and Nuremberg became the largest of the "free cities" of the Empire. This engraving appears to be an allegory of this war, which ended badly for the ill-advised titled lady. The Emperor deprived her of her lands, while Nuremberg was permitted to retain the conquered territory.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Coat-of-Arms with a Skull Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : other

Death of Orpheus
1494 Pen drawing, 289 x 225 mm Kunsthalle, Hamburg This drawing is probably derived from a painting by Andrea Mantegna, whose printed graphics D?rer copied. Mantegna in his turn was using Greco-Roman models. This landscape, the details of the drapery folds and the handling of the line in general are worked out in a quite independent fashion. The centre of the picture is the male nude in motion. According to the Metamorphoses by the classical author Ovid (43 B.C.-17/18 A.D.), Orpheus introduced homosexual love to Thrace and for that reason is beaten to death by two Thracian women during a bacchanal. The group of figures is placed before a central tree in which an open book with music is hanging. The classical singer's lyre is lying at his feet. In the tree a banderole with legends: "Orfeus der erst puseran" (Orpheus, the first pederast). The woman at the left and the boy were used by D?rer a few years later in the engraving known as "Jealousy" (more correctly "Chastity and Unchastity").Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Death of Orpheus Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : mythological

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

Emperor Charlemagne
1512 Oil on lindenwood, 188 x 87,6 cm Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg The idealized portrait of Emperor Charlemagne was intended for the "Heiltumskammer" in the Schoppersche House by the marketplace, together with the portrait of Emperor Sigismund of Poland (also in Nuremberg). This was where the coronation insignia and relics were kept, which were put on display once a year at the so-called "Heiltumsweisungen." The physiognomy of Charlemagne, shown in the magnificent original coronation robes, is reminiscent of depictions of God the Father. The crown, sword and imperial orb were prepared by D?rer in sketches. The German imperial coat of arms and French coat of arms with the fleur-de-lis are emblazoned at the top.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Emperor Charlemagne Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - painting : portrait

1519 Tempera on canvas, 83 x 65 cm Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg In 1518, D?rer went to the Diet of Augsburg following a delegation of dignitaries from Nuremberg. On that occasion, he did the portrait of Jakob Fugger (Staatsgalerie, Augsburg) and also one in a half-bust of the emperor, then fifty-nine. It is a pencil drawing carried out on 28 June (as indicated by the inscription on the same paper). Shortly thereafter, probably still during his sojourn in Augsburg, he did a second portrait, still in a half-bust, but this time painted on canvas: D?rer probably preferred canvas to panel because it simplified the execution, for the painting as well as for the transportation. This painting, now in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, did not have the inscription on parchment, which was added only after the emperor's death on 12 January 1519. The inscription is in German. It was transcribed, translated in Latin, in capital letters on the third panel portrait, now in Vienna.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Emperor Maximilian I Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - painting : portrait

Feast of the Rose Garlands
1506 Oil on poplar panel National Gallery, Prague The Feast of the Rose Garlands is undoubtedly the most important work that D?rer created during his sojourn in Venice and was the work that ushered in the Renaissance. D?rer was obviously aware of this, as his letters and the painting itself demonstrate. The painting shows this in the distinction he gives his self-portrait: in the top right, in front of the typically German landscape passage at the foot of the mountains, with his face framed by long blond hair, donning luxurious clothes - even a precious fur cloak, in spite of the warm season - so as to be noticed among the other characters. He alone has ostentatiously turned his gaze to the spectator. Even the writing on the paper he holds is unusual for Italy. It indicates not only the time of production (five months), but next to his own name is the indication germanus. This detail was to distinguish himself from his Venetian colleagues, who evidently held him in very high regard, since even the doge and the patriarch came to his workshop to admire his work. The artist's companion is likely to be Leonhard Vilt, founder of the Brotherhood of the Rosary in Venice. The man in the far right, recognizable by the square he holds, is the architect Hieronymus of Augsburg, engineer of the new Fondaco dei Tedeschi (1505-8) after it was completely destroyed in a fire. Inscription on the sheet in the artist's hand, monogrammed and autograph writing: EXEGIT QUINQUE MESTRI SPATIO ALBERTUS DURER GERMANUS MDVI.

Female Nude from Behind
1495 Brush drawing on paper, 32 x 21 cm Mus?e du Louvre, Paris This female nude seen from behind records D?rer's interest in human proportions during his first Italian journey. The attributes, staff and cloth, suggest that this freely drawn nude study was created from a model. The firmly sketched shape of her body forms a charming contrast with the glazed, freely swinging cloth. The head and cloth are executed with gentle brushstrokes and clearly show a spatially plastic relationship between the figure and pictorial space.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Female Nude from Behind Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study

Five Lansquenets and an Oriental on Horseback
1495 Engraving, 132 x 147 mm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York In early commentaries the scene was described as a band of robbers attacking D?rer, or as William Tell. More recently it has been suggested that it had originally been intended as a scene beneath the Cross. Italian influence is manifest, but the grouping, particularly the position of the Oriental horseman, is a little awkward. Note the scotch plaid pattern of the Turk's saddlecloth.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Five Lansquenets and an Oriental on Horseback Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : other

Green Passion: Christ before Caiaphas
1504 Pen drawing on green primed paper, 283 x 178 mm Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna The Green Passion, so named after the green primed paper, consists of twelve sheets, the purpose of which is not known. It has been assumed that they were used as preliminary sketches for stained glass windows. Like the other pictures, the sheet of Christ before Caiaphas distinguishes itself through its fine white highlights which achieve a magical plasticity and dramatic lighting - as was created by the "clair-obscur" technique - in their harmony with the green base colour of the scene. Christ and Pilate, the two antagonists in the foreground, are positioned opposite each other and emphasized both by the lighting and the architecture.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Green Passion: Christ before Caiaphas Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious

Harrowing of Hell
1512 Engraving, 117 x 73 mm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Sheet No. 14 of the Engraved Passion. Adam and Eve are on the left, Moses is behind them, Cerberus above. The contrast between engraved and woodcut versions is similar to that described for the Deposition. The man whose arm Christ is touching is probably St John the Baptist. This print is a new and felicitous rendering, bearing witness to D?rer's inventiveness and imagination. Eve looks charming next to the aged Adam.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Harrowing of Hell; or, Christ in Limbo (No. 14) Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious

Head of an Angel
1506 Brush drawing on blue Venetian paper, 270 x 208 mm Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna There are a total of 22 preliminary studies, every one of which can be considered an autonomous work of art, in which D?rer prepared the Feast of the Rose Garlands (National Gallery, Prague). The head of the lute-playing angel by the Madonna's feet is a masterpiece of drawing. The technique of the brush drawing with white highlights on blue paper was one D?rer became acquainted with in Venice. The interplay of white and dark parallel and cross-hatchings which gently follow the curves of the face create the plastic effect of the light and dark shades.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Head of an Angel Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study

Head of St Mark
1526 Chalk with white highlights, 373 x 265 mm Staatliche Museen, Berlin This is a study for the Apostle in the great Munich painting. In its expression of spiritual excitement the head in this drawing is decidedly superior to the one in the painting. Tossing briskly, the locks of hair continue the theme of movement. At the same time, the natural appearance of the hair seems to have been oddly neglected in the rendering ("pretzel locks"). Drawings of this type, in very large format and only superficially finished, do not occur in the earlier period.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Head of St Mark Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study

Head of the Twelve Year Old Christ
1506 Brush drawing on blue Venetian paper, 275 x 211 mm Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna The head study of the twelve year-old Jesus was originally drawn on the same sheet, later separated, as the preliminary drawing of the lute-playing angel in the Feast of the Rose Garlands. This is confirmed by the fact that the two pictures were created at the same time. In contrast to the preliminary drawing for the Feast of the Rose Garlands, D?rer kept more rigidly to his preliminary study in the painting of Christ among the Doctors, diverging only in details such as the reproduction of the hair.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Head of the Twelve Year Old Christ Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study
