Albrecht Dürer

A good, clear Meder d impression, starting to print slightly dry in places, trimmed to the borderline. The Bath house is one of the earliest 'whole sheet'-woodcuts executed by Dürer upon his return from Venice to Nuremberg. Unlike the majority of his early independent woodcuts (i.e. excluding book illustrations and broadsheets), which depict Christian subjects, the content of this print is secular and reveals a growing public interest in non-religious art. – The paper slightly foxed. Verso, the usual centrefold reinforced due to minor imperfections. A small spot of restoration at the lower left edge. On the reverse, abrasions due to a former mounting; otherwise in good condition.
