This detail of the map of Venice by Jacopo de' Barbari (c1465-c1516) is from the 1500 version as it shows the Campanile in Piazza San Marco with a flat roof after a 1489 fire. #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print #venice #jacopodebarbari

Jacopo de' Barbari (c1465-c1516) was an Italian artist known for his pioneering aerial view of Venice, first registered in 1500. It was a six-panel woodcut and was frequently updated. This version is thought to date to 1514. #woodcuts #prints #print #venice #jacopodebarbari

Another amazingly detailed woodcut by Lucas Cranach the Elder (c1472-1553), although this one is a few years earlier (1506 or 1507). It shows a boar hunt. #lucascranachtheelder #lucascranach #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print

Some variations of the werewolf myth have the "werewolf" being a man so lost to his bestial instincts that he turns cannibal as in this c1510 woodcut by Lucas Cranach the Elder (c1472-1553). #lucascranachtheelder #lucascranach #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print

An incredibly detailed woodcut by Lucas Cranach the Elder (c1472-1553) from 1509 showing knights fighting in a tournament as well as the spectators and some musicians. #lucascranachtheelder #lucascranach #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print

Our focus this week is German artist and printmaker, Lucas Cranach the Elder (c1472-1553). He has an enormous body of surviving woodcuts. His Whore of Babylon from 1522 can be compared to the final print from last week. #lucascranachtheelder #lucascranach #woodcuts #prints #print

The Renaissance saw a resurgence in printmaking, with woodcuts and engravings enabling widespread dissemination of art, knowledge, and religious imagery. #woodcuts #drurer #holbein #arthistory aesthetictriangle.com/2024/03/20/the…

I probably should say something about the fact that Hans Burgkamir the Elder (1473-1531) provided woodcuts for a 1523 Martin Luther (1483-1546) translation of the New Testament—but I picked this print for much less intellectual reasons. That beast is gorgeous! #woodcuts #woodcut

Look at the detail in this c1517 print by Hans Burgkamir the Elder (1473-1531). It's hard to focus on just one feature and makes my historian side squeal in delight. #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print #hansburgkamir

This print of four legendary rulers from 1509-1512 falls in the period when Hans Burgkamir the Elder (1473-1531) was focused on works for Maximilian I (1459-1519). #woodcuts #prints #woodcut #print #hansburgkamir

We're focusing on Hans Burgkamir the Elder (1473-1531) this week. He has over 800 prints attributed to him, thanks in part to his work for Maximilian I (1459-1519). This image of Maximilian I is from 1508. #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print #hansburgkamir #maximilian

Love the immensely crudely coloured #woodcuts in this copy of ‘The rosarye of our lady in englysshe, with many goodly petycions dyrect to her’ (probably printed in Antwerp by Willem Vorsterman c. 1525). The cuts are just a couple of inches tall. @theULSpecColl SSS.20.13(2).

This is my favourite print by Michael Wolgemut (1434-1519)—"Danse macabre" from 1493. Skeletons kicking up their heels, corpses trailing their intestines and one playing a reed-flute - what's not to love? #michaelwolgemut #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print

This 1493 print of Circe and Ulysses by Michael Wolgemut (1434-1519) has the delightful quirk of medieval art of illustrating ancient myths using contemporary garb and objects. #michaelwolgemut #woodcuts #woodcut #prints #print
