Albrecht Dürer The sixteen subjects of the Engraved Passion are not as uniform in character as Dürer's two woodcut Passions because their development is spread over a longer period of time. Dürer seeks out difficult problems, extreme foreshortenings, details of heads and bodies, effects of costumes, all features which are omitted from the woodcut versions.

  2. Thanks for creating this site , its always good to see people with similar interests. I wonder if anyone knows if Durer himself created the copper plates for this series or did he just create the design and have his craftsmen in the work shop create the plates as he did with his later woodcuts. With so much detailed information / history written about Durer , its surprising that I cant seem to find any information specific to that question. Kind regards to all, Mark Klocko email artklocko@yahoo.com
