{"product_id":"albrecht-durer-melencolia-i-engraving-print","title":"Albrecht Dürer — Melencolia I | Engraving Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA winged woman in a heavy gown sits with her cheek on her fist, a wreath on her head and dividers in her hand. A small winged child sits on a millstone beside her, and a lean dog sleeps curled on the floor. Around them lie a sphere, a plane, a saw and nails, and a great faceted stone stands by a ladder. Scales, an hourglass, a bell and a number square hang on the wall. Over the sea a bat-winged creature carries the title under a rainbow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngraved in 1514, it is one of three large prints of 1513 and 1514 known as Dürer's master engravings, with Knight, Death and the Devil and Saint Jerome in His Study. The number square on the wall adds up to 34 in every direction, and the two middle cells of its bottom row give the year. Its personification of melancholy as the condition of creative minds is thought to have shaped European images of the subject for more than three centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: engraving, 1514, Cleveland Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlbrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a German painter, printmaker and theorist of the Northern Renaissance, born in Nuremberg, the son of a goldsmith. He trained in the workshop of Michael Wolgemut and travelled twice to Italy, bringing Italian ideas of proportion and perspective north of the Alps. His woodcut series, above all the Apocalypse of 1498, and his engravings, among them Knight, Death and the Devil, Saint Jerome in His Study and Melencolia I, raised printmaking to the level of painting and circulated across Europe in his lifetime. He also made watercolours of plants and animals from close observation, painted portraits and altarpieces, and published treatises on measurement and human proportion. His prints are held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the British Museum and the Albertina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
