{"product_id":"saint-catherine-albrecht-durer","title":"Saint Catherine - Albrecht Dürer","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic woodcut by Albrecht Dürer depicting Saint Catherine with her traditional attributes, rendered with precise cross-hatching and fine line work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis woodcut depicts Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a figure frequently represented in Northern Renaissance art. She sits in profile, holding a sword and resting her hand upon the spiked wheel, which serves as her primary attribute. The artist employs a dense network of parallel lines and cross-hatching to define the folds of her garments, the texture of her hair, and the rugged terrain of the background. \n\nTypical of the period, the composition balances the figure with a detailed, atmospheric setting. A walled garden and distant mountains provide depth, while the inclusion of the monogram in the upper right corner confirms the authorship of Albrecht Dürer. The precision of the line work demonstrates the technical mastery of the woodcut medium, a craft that Dürer elevated to a high art form during his career. \n\nThe figure of Catherine is rendered with a sense of quiet composure. Her gaze is directed downward toward a book, suggesting her traditional role as a patron of scholars and philosophers. The contrast between the sharp, jagged edges of the broken wheel and the soft, flowing lines of her dress creates a visual tension that draws the eye across the print. This work reflects the stylistic conventions of late fifteenth-century German printmaking, where the focus remained on clarity of form and the expressive potential of the black-and-white medium. \n\nSolis Prints offers this reproduction as a high-quality fine art print, capturing the original tonal range and the crispness of the woodcut lines. It is a piece that invites close inspection, revealing the careful attention to detail that characterises Dürer's output. Whether displayed in a study or a gallery wall, this print provides a clear window into the aesthetic priorities of the Northern 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=\"\/products\/portrait-of-a-man-hans-holbein-the-younger\" 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;\"\u003ePortrait of a Man - Hans Holbein the Younger — Hans Holbein the Younger\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/noli-me-tangere-albrecht-altdorfer\" 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;\"\u003eNoli me tangere - Albrecht Altdorfer — Albrecht Altdorfer\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":58101774975311,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58101776548175,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58101776580943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58101776613711,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58101776646479,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Saint-Catherine_Poster_CompositorV1_1782867247338.jpg?v=1782867380","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/saint-catherine-albrecht-durer","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
