EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print, titled "Goblet with Pomegranate on the Knob," is a masterpiece created by the renowned German painter and printmaker, Albrecht Altdorfer, around 1520-1525. Altdorfer, a leading figure of the Danube School, is celebrated for his innovative approach to landscape and figural composition. In this image, Altdorfer presents a detailed depiction of a goblet adorned with an intricately engraved pomegranate on its knob. The pomegranate, a symbol of fertility and abundance in many cultures, adds an elegant and richly symbolic touch to the goblet. The print, with its bold lines and meticulous attention to detail, showcases Altdorfer's exceptional drafting skills. The scene is set against a seemingly endless, lush landscape, filled with a variety of flora and fauna. The artist's mastery of perspective and use of negative space create a sense of depth and harmony, inviting the viewer to explore the intricacies of the image. This print is a testament to Altdorfer's artistic vision and his ability to capture the essence of the natural world. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the 16th century and the enduring influence of Altdorfer's work on the art world. This print is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
