Wapens van de families Scheurl en Zinger 1481 - 1523

This woodcut, created by Albrecht Durer between 1481 and 1523, depicts the coats of arms of the Scheurl and Zinger families. Durer's precise rendering of the heraldic motifs showcases his skill in detail and craftsmanship. The intricate ornamentation around the shields further elevates the composition, enhancing the sense of prestige associated with these noble families. The inscription, referencing a Latin quote from the Psalms, adds a layer of religious symbolism to the artwork. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Durer's mastery of engraving and his keen understanding of the social and cultural significance of heraldry.
