EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures a grotesque man in an unusual pose, kneeling and holding a tall beer glass at its base. Created between 1529-62 by the renowned artist Albrecht Durer or Duerer, this pen and dark brown ink drawing on paper is housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The image showcases the incredible attention to detail and skill of Durer's work. The intricate lines and shading bring out the grotesque features of the man, emphasizing his exaggerated facial expressions and contorted body posture. The choice to depict him holding a beer glass adds an element of whimsy to an otherwise unsettling figure. On closer inspection, one can find additional details on the verso side of this artwork. It includes works by Virgil Solis (1514-1562), as well as anonymous German artists from that era. These additions provide further insight into artistic collaborations during this period. The overall composition evokes curiosity about who this mysterious figure might be - perhaps a servant or housemaid engaged in their daily tasks? The inclusion of various terms related to domestic help suggests that there may be deeper social commentary embedded within this artwork. In conclusion, this print offers viewers a glimpse into Albrecht Durer's mastery as an artist while leaving room for interpretation and speculation about its subject matter.
