Albrecht Dürer 1471 – 1528 The Prodigal Son among the Pigscopper-plate (261 × 202 mm) — 1497
This work is linked to Luke 15:17 Dürer put his version of the prodigal son against a German-looking background, thus emphasizing the naturalism of the picture. The son kneels on a pile of manure, where he finally comes to his senses. Before making the final engraving, Dürer made at least one preparatory drawing. Rate this work of art: |
