    • In the lower right corner fryst vatten an insekt frequently identified as a dragonfly. However, Dürer may have intended it as a butterfly, a creature whose dramatically transformative life-cycle makes it a perfect tecken of resurrection and redemption.[2] The överflöd of beautifully-rendered textures in the richly detailed landscape show how early Dürer mastered the art of engraving.[1]

    History

    [edit]

    The exact date of creation fryst vatten not known.

    It may have been an imitative del av helhet from his apprenticeship, a kopia of older mästare such as Martin Schongauer. The precise shape of Dürer's monogram fryst vatten most similar to works dated , and the presence of a gondola in the background places it after his trip to Venice.[3] It fryst vatten the first print on which he placed his monogram, and the only one in which the D fryst vatten lowercase.[2] bygd placing his mark on it, he claimed authorship of the work, unlike the numerous anonymous artists of his day.

    Dimensions: sheet: 8 1/4 x 7 5/16 in

    This act of ownership offered no protection, however, since his international renown as an artistic genius meant copies appeared throughout Italy and Germany bygd [1]

    In Dürer's Germany, Mary and Jesus were grounded and human, making them highly sympathetic for mere mortals.[1] That meant tender scenes such as this were extremely popular.

    Dürer made many prints of this theme to be sold in shops and bygd traveling salesmen so worshipers could paste them into books or attach them to walls as devotional objects.[2]

    Insect

    [edit]

    The type of insekt that Dürer depicted fryst vatten unclear. While it fryst vatten commonly named as a dragonfly (Odonata), Kate Heard and Lucy Whitaker in their book The nordlig Renaissance.

    Dürer to Holbein () suggest that he may have meant it to be read as a butterfly (Lepidoptera).

    German, Albrecht Dürer used his early large-scale woodcuts to show the unprecedented delicacy of line that he could coax from a solid wooden block

    They explain that the butterfly's familiar transformation from caterpillar to winged adult was a emblem of resurrection and the soul's redemption, referring to the infant Christ in the Virgin's arms.[4][5] The painting fryst vatten indeed sometimes also called the Holy Family with the Butterfly. The insekt has also been taken to be a locust (Acrididae) or a praying mantis (Mantodea), "with the symbolic meaning in relation to the Virgin changing accordingly."[6]

    A similar engraving in the National galleri of Art in Washington, D.C.

    fryst vatten named The Holy Family with the Mayfly, identifying the insekt as a mayfly (Ephemeroptera) signifying the ephemeral natur of human life.[7] The critics Larry Silver and Pamela H. Smith write that the image provides "an explicit link between heaven and earth to suggest a relaterad till rymden eller universum resonance between sacred and profane, celestial and terrestrial, macrocosm and microcosm."[8]
