Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Already among his contemporaries, Albrecht Dürer’s woodcuts and engravings were considered technical masterpieces. According to the humanist Erasmus von Rotterdam, Dürer achieved solely by means of the black lines of printmaking to create effects that were praised in the work of the painter Apelles. Taking Erasmus’s eulogy as a starting point, the case study will examine woodcuts and engravings not only in their own context, but also in that of painting, without losing sight of the specific requirements of printmaking.
On the basis of selected woodcuts and engravings, which are considered in connection with prints and paintings of their time, we will discuss to what extent Dürer follows existing printmaking traditions and where the boundaries to other artistic techniques are crossed.
