About the Item

Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) (after) Melencolia Engraving Signed in the plate On Arches vellum, 45 x 31 cm (c. 22 x 12 in) INFORMATION: Created in 1514, Melencolia is one of Albrecht Dürer's most famous engravings. Its rich symbolism—angels, polyhedra, Masonic and alchemical references, an hourglass, and even a magic square—has inspired passionate study and inspired numerous artists, particularly Salvador Dali, who often references it. To make this exceptional old engraving more accessible, the Artfever gallery has commissioned a new edition: the plate was engraved by J. Boiteux from the copy held at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, and the print was produced in the traditional manner, hand-pressed in an intaglio workshop. Excellent condition
