ANTIQUE WOODCUT MEDIEVAL KNIGHTS BY LEONHARD BECK
An antique woodcut print representing a medieval scene, knights and monks with torches gathering around a coffin inside the church. The print is an illustration for Der Weisskunig, The White King, a chivalric novel written by Maximilian I, 1486–1519, Holy Roman Emperor. The novel was illustrated by the most prominent artists of the time, but the full edition of 251 illustrations appeared only in 1775. The lot is plate 180 from this edition, as indicated in the lower left. It was executed by Leonhard Beck, 1480-1542, a German artist and an assistant to Hans Holbein the Elder who is mostly remembered for his Weisskunig woodcuts. Red cardboard mat. Collectible Northern Renaissance Graphic Art.
Dimensions: Matte 19 x 16 3/4 in. Plate 9 x 7 5/8 in. All measurements are approximate.
