"1480 ca: Exploring the Intricate World of Drawings and Prints" Step into the fascinating world of 15th-century art with a collection of drawings and prints from 1480 ca. These captivating pieces offer a glimpse into the artistic genius and cultural milieu of that era. One notable artwork is a print depicting the Crucifixion, possibly created by German artist Hans Schaufelein in Nuremberg. The intricate details and emotive portrayal make this piece truly remarkable. Scholars debate whether it is an original or a restrike, adding to its mystique. Another print from this period showcases a parable known as "Banquet without Guests" from Das Plenarium. The artist's skillful execution brings this story to life, leaving viewers pondering its deeper meaning. In another striking work, Christ confronts the Pharisees in Das Plenarium. This powerful image captures the tension between religious authority and divine truth, showcasing Schaufelein's talent as both an artist and publisher. The healing miracles of Christ are also depicted in these prints. One such example portrays Christ Healing Deaf-Mute, again found in Das Plenarium series published by Schaufelein himself. The delicate lines convey compassion while highlighting the transformative power of faith. Moving beyond biblical narratives, we encounter Story Esther—a captivating tale brought to life through Hans Schaufelein's masterful strokes. His attention to detail transports us back to ancient Persia where Esther's bravery unfolds against all odds. Stunningly rendered is St. John Prison—another print from Das Plenarium series—showcasing Schaufelein's ability to capture human emotion within his compositions. This thought-provoking piece invites contemplation on themes such as confinement and spiritual liberation.
