EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Barbara Dürer, a woman who lived during the Renaissance period. Created by Albrecht Durer in 1514, just two months before her passing, this portrait reveals the frailty of Barbara's health as she battled with illness. The drawing can be found in the Kupferstichkabinett at Staatliche Museen in Berlin. In this monochrome image, Barbara's face is highlighted against a dark background, emphasizing her elderly features. Her eyes gaze directly at the viewer, reflecting wisdom and perhaps even a hint of pain. A headdress adorns her head, adding an air of elegance to her appearance. Albrecht Durer's meticulous charcoal strokes bring out every detail of Barbara's face and capture the emotions that lie within it. This artwork serves as a testament to his skill as an artist and his deep connection with his mother. The photograph is featured in Bernhard Degenhart's book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" which showcases five hundred years of European drawings. Published in 1943 by Atlantis-Verlag Berlin-Zurich, this collection celebrates art from various centuries and countries. As we observe this poignant portrayal of Barbara Dürer, we are reminded not only of her individual story but also of the power that art holds to immortalize moments and evoke emotions across time periods and generations.
