1435 50–1491 Breisach Colmar Ca Death Martin Schongauer Second State
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 15th century, titled "Death Virgin". Created by Martin Schongauer, a renowned German engraver hailing from Colmar around 1435-1491, this second state engraving is truly an exquisite representation of his talent. The print captures the intricate details and symbolism that make Schongauer's work so revered. In this particular artwork, we witness the juxtaposition of two contrasting elements - death and virginity. The artist skillfully depicts Death personified as a skeletal figure engaging with the Virgin Mary. This thought-provoking imagery invites viewers to contemplate life's transience and reflect on their own mortality. The fine lines and delicate shading in this engraving demonstrate Schongauer's mastery of his craft. Each stroke reveals his meticulous attention to detail, creating depth and texture within the composition. The overall effect is both hauntingly beautiful and emotionally evocative. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the artistic brilliance of Martin Schongauer. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Germany's most influential artists during the Renaissance period.
