Description
Tratta dalla monumentale opera di Schedel, il Liber Cronicarum, che rappresenta uno “dei più straordinari lavori mai realizzati” dall’editoria del XV secolo.
Gli incisori erano Michael Wolgemut, famoso maestro di Albrecht Dürer, e il figliastro Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Wolgemut fu il tutore di Albrecht Dürer tra il 1486 e il 1490; recenti studi hanno dimostrato come Durer abbia collaborato alla realizzazione di quest’opera, poiché alcuni dei tratti hanno somiglianze stupefacenti con quelli dell’Apocalisse; alcune opere sono infatti attribuite al maestro di Norimberga.
La stampa venne supervisionata dal grande stampatore Anton Koberger, le cui opere erano famose in tutta Europa.
Xilografia, in buone condizioni.
Hartmann SCHEDEL (Norimberga 1440 - ivi 1514)
|
The medical doctor and humanist Hartmann Schedel, grew up in Nuremberg and first studied liberal art in Leipzig. In 1463 he went to Padua together with the humanist Petrus Luder, to study medicine, Italian, Greek and Hebrew. In 1466 he returned to Nuremberg as a medical doctor and settled as the Nuremberg town doctor. He was a prominent member of the Nuremberg circle of humanists around Pirckheimer, Hieronymus Münster and Konrad Celtis. His comprehensive private library was among the most important of his time, not only because of the books themselves, but also because of its numerous prints, miniatures and graphic sheets, which Schedel used to add to his books. Hartmann Schedel became famous for a world chronicle entitled 'Schedelsche Weltchronik' in his honor.
It is a world history containing humanist historical articles, and was published in Latin and German by Anton Koberger in Nuremberg in 1493. It was known as the largest undertaking in the book-making industry of that time and with its over 1800 woodcuts is one of the most richly illustrated incunables ever made. The high-quality artistic woodcuts were made by the German painter and woodcutter Wilhelm Pleydenwurff and his father-in-law Michael Wolgemuth in whose Nuremberg workshop Albrecht Dürer was an apprentice until late 1489.
