Description: Martin SCHONGAUER Temptation of St. Anthony (c. 1470-1475) identically-sized intaglio copy etched and hand-printed in the 1800s by Amand Durand in Paris. Wonderful 150-year-old etched copy of Schongauer's lively original in outstanding condition. Printed in black ink on light cream-colored paper with Amand Durand’s red stamp on back. Slight bend at upper left edge and small light stain at far left, evident in photos; signs of mounting along one back edge, seemingly for binding in a book or folio. Etched image: 11.7 inches tall x 8.5 inches wide; sheet: 12.75 x 9.5 inches. In archival glassine and shipped in a rigid mailer. Thank you for looking. Please check out my other auctions, and have a wonderful day! In the 1800s, with an emphasis on the Renaissance, Amand Durand scoured museums and private collections for outstanding impressions of history’s greatest engravings and etchings. He took extremely sharp photographs of the original impressions, transferred these images in their original sizes onto copper, and etched the works into the plates. The result was a copper intaglio plate he inked, wiped, and printed by hand just like the original, creating facsimiles so remarkable that it’s not uncommon to see them in museum and private collections.
