More about this artwork

Albrecht Dürer's "Melencolia I" (1514) is a masterwork of the Northern Renaissance, celebrated for its intricate details and dense symbolism. The engraving depicts a winged figure, typically interpreted as the personification of melancholia, seated dejectedly with her head resting on her hand, surrounded by an array of scientific and mathematical instruments including a celestial globe, a compass, and an hourglass. These objects emphasize the era's burgeoning interest in knowledge and exploration but also suggest the limits of human understanding.A key element in the composition is the large, dark polyhedron on the left, adding to the sense of enigmatic depth of the scene. In the background, a faintly visible comet and a brightly shining sun illuminate the sky, further adding to the atmosphere filled with celestial and intellectual elements.Particularly notable is the magic square in the upper right corner, meticulously detailed with numbers that sum to the artist's possible reference to the year of the engraving, reinforcing Dürer's fascination with numerology and the broader quest for order and meaning in the universe.

All Artworks

Christian paintings, woodcuts and landscapes by the German Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). Dürer's pieces on Christian themes and allegory are considered to be the finest examples of the Northern Renaissance. One of Dürer's most famous works on Christ is his "Crucifixion" woodcut (1503). The piece demonstrates Dürer's mastery of the medium and deep understanding of Christian symbolism. The work depicts the crucifixion of Christ in a powerful and realistic manner, with an emphasis on the suffering and sacrifice of Christ. Dürer began his career as an apprentice in Nuremberg to the master craftsman Michael Wolgemut. He later became the founding member of the city's painters' guild and was an active member of humanist circles prominent in Nuremberg at the time.
