Albrecht Dürer c.1495 Renaissance engraving of “The Ravisher” heliogravure created by Amand Durand (1831-1905) in Paris in 1877. Image: 4.5 inches tall x 3.9 inches wide; plate marks: 5 x 4.5; sheet: 15.5 x 10.3. Impressively exacting and very rare French recreation of Durer's 15th century engraving. You can see from the photos that Amand Durand left the slightest plate tone in the image area to approximate the 500+ year-old originals (Dürer engraved this at the age of 24, early in his career). The heliogravure's very clean paper belies its 147 year age. Printed on the same quite thin large sheets Amand Durand used early on to release Albrecht Durer's entire oeuvre. Slight bends at the very bottom. Numbered at base of front. Though at first examination the image's message may seem strange, equivalents are common throughout history in most cultures… you'll recognize it even today if you've ever seen a Lifetime movie. Probably to avoid confusion due to the accuracy of the work, someone in the past recorded this impression (in French) as a heliogravure in pencil at the bottom of the back of the sheet. The margins are insanely large, so Amand Durand could publish his complete set of Dürer’s engraved work consistently sized. I'd have folded a half-inch at the top and an inch at the bottom so this could fit into a flat double-cardboard mailer, which currently tracks better and is delivered much more quickly than tubes, but I didn't want to damage that pencil text on the back. If a buyer wishes, I can fold the sheet to 14 inches tall so it can travel flat. I can't imagine anyone framing this would keep these gigantic margins anyway, and I've recently been discouraged to see tubes taking 2 weeks to arrive even domestically. But I leave that up to the buyer. I’ll give you an impression of a copper engraving of my own after a Renaissance master if you’ll let me fold it, but whatever you prefer. About the work: “Albrecht Dürer produced a number of early prints warning against the pleasures of the flesh, including the Ill-Assorted Couple. Perhaps the most insidious to modern eyes is this seductively velvety engraving. The ravisher’s young victim writhes on a fence much like the one often occupied by the Virgin Mary in other Dürer engravings. Whether she has fallen into the hands of a lusty wild man or Death himself, both her virtue and her life are clearly at stake. In a maelstrom of violent wind, his bony arms reach around her waist and pull tightly at her skirts.” – Art Institute of Chicago
