Illustration from the Ritter von Turn, 1493 1493

This woodcut print, "Illustration from the Ritter von Turn," is a detailed depiction of a scene from a medieval German romance. It was created by Albrecht Durer, a prominent artist of the Northern Renaissance, in 1493. The print features a scene of a woman lying in bed, surrounded by her servants, one of whom holds a sword. Durer’s precise, detailed, and skillful use of line allows the viewer to see the intricate details of the scene and the characters’ expressions. This print is considered to be a fine example of Durer’s early work in woodcut, a printing technique that would become increasingly important in his later career.
