{"product_id":"albrecht-durer-praying-hands-fine-art-print","title":"Albrecht Dürer — Praying Hands | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo hands pressed palm to palm point upward and to the left, each finger modelled in fine dark hatching with white highlights on a mottled blue ground. At the wrists, rolled sleeve cuffs are worked in crosshatched white ink, and the lower part of the sheet fades into faint outlines of the forearms and drapery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDürer made the sheet in ink with white heightening on blue paper. It was long taken as a study for an apostle's hands in the Heller Altarpiece in Frankfurt, which burned in 1729, though a more recent theory sees it as a finished rendering of the painted hands. The Albertina in Vienna holds it, and it was first shown publicly in 1871.\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\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
