1496 Pen, 231 x 226 mm Kunsthalle, Bremen Weak in its perspective and not yet quite clear in its representation of forms, this drawing nevertheless possesses significant qualities: a strong feeling for corporeality and for rich configuration. Form is suggested by light, jumping strokes of the pen, with the vagueness typical of the early period. A painterly effect is sought in the darkness of the wall and ceiling, in which the grain of the wood is disproportionately emphasized, as in the art of the primitives.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: The Women's Bath Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study |
