Print in the North

Boorsch, Suzanne, and Nadine M. Orenstein. The Print in the North: The Age of Albrecht Dürer and Lucas van Leyden. NY: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1997.

This is a beautifully illustrated examination of the Northern Renaissance printmaking tradition, focusing on two of its most influential figures—Albrecht Dürer and Lucas van Leyden. This volume, originally published as part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin in 1997, provides readers with an in-depth look at the printmaking techniques, artistic influences, and the cultural context that shaped the works of these two renowned artists.

The book contains 60-pages of detailed analysis accompanied by duotone illustrations, including both black-and-white and color images. It showcases a variety of prints from the era, offering insight into how Northern European artists mastered the use of engraving and woodcut techniques to create detailed, expressive works. The publication also explores the broader artistic and cultural environment of the time, making it a valuable resource for art historians, print collectors, and enthusiasts of the Northern Renaissance.

This slim book is still shrink-wrapped so I cannot include any photos from the inside. There is no visible ISBN, nor could I find one online.

I am asking $25.
