{"product_id":"lamentation-albrecht-durer","title":"Lamentation - Albrecht Dürer","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed pen and ink study by Albrecht Dürer, capturing the solemnity of the Lamentation of Christ with precise line work and anatomical focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by Albrecht Dürer, dated 1504, depicts the mourning over the body of Christ. The composition is organised around the central figure of the Virgin Mary, who kneels in prayer beside the deceased Christ. To the right, the sarcophagus awaits, while the background features the distant silhouettes of the three crosses on Golgotha. Dürer employs a precise, linear technique, using varied hatching to define form, shadow, and texture across the figures and the rocky terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist demonstrates his mastery of human anatomy and emotional expression through the slumped posture of Christ and the grief-stricken gestures of the surrounding figures. The inclusion of the artist's monogram and the date on the stone slab behind the Virgin Mary confirms the period of its creation, a time when Dürer was refining his approach to perspective and naturalism. The scene is rendered with a focus on the physical weight of the body and the sombre atmosphere of the burial site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a drawing, this piece offers a clear view into Dürer's working process. The lines are deliberate, showing the artist's control over the pen to create depth without the use of colour. The rocky outcrop and the sparse vegetation provide a stark, grounded setting for the narrative. This print captures the technical rigour and the theological focus characteristic of Dürer's output during the early sixteenth century. It remains a primary example of his ability to combine technical precision with narrative gravity, providing a window into the artistic practices of the German Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-entombment-of-christ-lucas-cranach-the-elder\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Entombment of Christ by Lucas Cranach the Elder\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-flagellation-martin-schongauer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Flagellation by Martin Schongauer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/collections\/albrecht-durer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAlbrecht Dürer prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Albrecht Dürer","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59460199842127,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59460229693775,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59460229726543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59460229759311,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59460229792079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59460229824847,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59460229857615,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59460229890383,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59460229923151,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59460229955919,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59460229988687,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59460230021455,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Lamentation_Poster_CompositorV1_1792304997825.jpg?v=1794350650","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/lamentation-albrecht-durer","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
