ALBRECHT DÜRER
Landscape with the Cannon.
Etching, 1518. 217x321 mm; 8⅜x12⅝ inches. Second state (of 2). A very good, richly-inked, dark Meder II c-e impression after only the initial rust marks, mainly around the artist's monogram and date upper left, with strong contrasts and little to no sign of wear (Meder dates impressions with II c characteristics, after the rust marks begin to appear on the iron etching plate, but before the profusion of rust marks throughout the plate and the significant rust marks on the chest of the Turkish figure in the center foreground, from the mid-1500s). Arms of Schrobenhausen watermark (Meder 195, which he dates from circa 1558-71). With thread margins or trimmed on the plate mark.
Provenance: Kunsthalle Bremen, with the ink stamps verso (Lugt 292 and 293). Bartsch 99; Meder 96.
