Virgin and Child with the Pear
By Hans Sebald Beham
Located in New York, NY
Hans Sebald Beham (1500-1550), Virgin and Child with the Pear, engraving, 1520. Initials monogram and date in the plate. References: Bartsch 18, Pauli, Hollstein 19. First state (of two). In good condition, on old laid paper with thread margins on three sides, trimmed on the platemark bottom right and bottom, and archival mounting. h: 4.5 x w: 3 in / h: 11.4 x w: 7.6 cm
A very good impression of this rarity.
Hollstein indicates that earlier impressions, such as this one, do not have a scratch above the head of the Virgin.
Beham was one of the Northern Renaissance Little Masters, so called because of their eminence in producing small-scale engravings such as the Virgin and Child with a Pear. Beham was born in Nuremberg in 1500, and may have trained under Durer, though his training is no more certain than that of his younger brother Barthel. He made his first engraving in 1518, and later became known for producing woodcuts as well.
Beham’s Madonna with the Pear has a similar composition but in reverse to Durer’s engraving...

Die Heimsuchung (from Marienleben)
By Albrecht Dürer
Located in London, GB
This is one of twenty woodcuts that together comprise The Life of the Virgin, a series on which Dürer worked for some ten years. Seventeen of these woodcuts were finished when the artist left for Italy in 1505. (There they were copied as engravings by Marcantonio Raimondi—much to Dürer’s chagrin.) Dürer finished the last two woodcuts as well as the frontispiece only in 1510. The set was then published in 1511 together with The Large Passion, accompanied by Latin verses written by the Benedictine monk Benedictus Cheledonius. On this occasion Dürer also reissued his Apocalypse series in order to offer his Große Bücher (Great Books...
