Landscape with Two Pines, 1522-1525. Creator: Albrecht Altdorfer (German, c. 1480-1538)
Landscape with Two Pines, 1522-1525. Albrecht Altdorfers Landscape with Two Pines is from a series of nine etchings produced between 1515 and 1523. While landscape is the sole subject, they do not represent real scenes, but are fantastic in scale and proportion, with relative tree heights approaching 70 feet. Altdorfer lived and worked in Regensburg, a town along the Danube in southern Germany. He was a leader of the so-called " Danube School, " a group of German artists characterized by their love of landscape and their ornate linear style. He, and later artists such as Augustin Hirschvogel and Hanns Lautensack produced a significant number of etched landscapes, which are thought to have been made for a small but emerging collectors market in 16th-century Europe

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albrecht Altdorfer's "Landscape with Two Pines" an exquisite piece from a series of nine etchings created between 1515 and 1523. While the focus lies solely on the landscape, these artworks do not depict real scenes but rather transport viewers into a realm of fantastical scale and proportion. In this particular piece, the towering pines reach heights approaching an astonishing 70 feet, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. Altdorfer, a renowned German artist who resided in Regensburg along the Danube River, was revered as one of the leaders of the esteemed "Danube School". This group comprised German artists known for their deep appreciation for landscapes and their intricate linear style. Alongside fellow artists such as Augustin Hirschvogel and Hanns Lautensack, Altdorfer contributed significantly to the creation of numerous etched landscapes during this period. The emergence of a small yet burgeoning collectors market in 16th-century Europe likely inspired these remarkable etchings. Today, this print serves as a testament to Altdorfer's artistic prowess and his enduring legacy within German art history. Captured by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, this image preserves both the beauty and historical significance encapsulated within Albrecht Altdorfer's masterpiece.
