Portrait of the Artist's Mother new21/Albrecht Durer-273279.jpg Painting ID:: 63654
|
1514 Charcoal drawing on paper, 421 x 303 mm Staatliche Museen, Berlin Two months before his mother's death, D?rer recorded her features in this famous drawing. The extreme naturalism of the portrait is a reference to the hard life the depicted woman had endured, for she had suffered from various illnesses and had given birth to 18 children, only three of which survived. While in the Middle Ages ugliness was equated solely with evil or death, here its function is mainly as a private record.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Portrait of the Artist's Mother Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait |

Willibald Pirckheimer new21/Albrecht Durer-533769.jpg Painting ID:: 63655
|
1503 Charcoal drawing, 282 x 208 mm Staatliche Museen, Berlin In the portrait drawing of Willibald Pirckheimer, seen in profile looking to the left, D?rer was making use of a silver point drawing and "refined his friend's features without flattering him," as Panofsky stated. The famous humanist was a close friend and intimate of D?rer's. It is possible that D?rer was stimulated to produce this profile portrait by ancient imperial coins, though it is also possible that the drawing was used as a pattern by a medal maker.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Willibald Pirckheimer Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait |

Hand and Pillow 1493 Pen and ink on paper, 28 x 20 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York This sketched self-portrait was on the reverse of the painted self-portrait of 1493, now in the Mus?e du Louvre, Paris. It could well have been an early study for the oil painting.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Studies of Self-Portrait, Hand and Pillow Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study |

Side, Front, and Back View of a Helmet new21/Albrecht Durer-569367.jpg Painting ID:: 63657
|
1503 Pen, 422 x 268 mm Mus?e du Louvre, Paris The date 1514 is false. D?rer apparently owned the helmet. The side view was used in the 1503 copperplate engraving "The Coat-of-arms of Death," the front view in the engraving (to be dated not much later) "Coat-of-arms with a Rooster."Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Side, Front, and Back View of a Helmet Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study |

The Madonna and Child with a Music-making Angel new21/Albrecht Durer-993985.jpg Painting ID:: 63658
|
1519 Pen, 305 x 210 mm Royal Collection, Windsor There are only slight differences in tone, but an impression of richness is achieved by the very economical variation in direction of the areas of linear shading.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: The Madonna and Child with a Music-making Angel Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious |
