The Large Passion - Albrecht Dürer
Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), as well as painting, was interested in etching technique and achieved a great success with this technique. He also continued to produce engravings throughout his life.
The wood engravings series "Apocalypse", which he started in 1498, and "About the life of Mary" between 1501 and 1511 are counted among the important works. "The Large Passion", which uses a non-standard plate size of 39 x 28 centimeters, is another important series of wood prints. Each plate contains Latin poems that tell the death and resurrection of Jesus' last days. Dürer completed lam "The Large Passion" in 1511 and published it.
