DÜRER, Albrecht (1471-1528)

[The Small Passion:] Passio Christi. Nuremberg: Hieronymus Höltzel, 1511.

First edition of Dürer's Small Passion. It is his most extensive and most unified series, executed with a simpler, more direct treatment of the subject which celebrates the humanity of Christ. To the traditional iconography of the Passion, Dürer extended the story from the Fall to the Last Judgement. It was produced at a period of intense productivity and involvement with the subject, published at the same time as his Apocalypse, Life of the Virgin, Large Passion, and engraved Passion series. It was immediately popular and was reprinted and copied into the 17th century. Thirty-five of the 37 original woodblocks survive at the British Museum. Two images (Christ's Entry into Jerusalem and Christ Driving the Money-changers from the Temple) are not included in any of Dürer's other Passion series. Illus. Bartsch 16-52; Meder 125-161; Schoch, et al., Albrecht Dürer, Das druckgraphische Werk, II, pp.280-388.



Quarto (179 x 132mm). 35 (of 37) woodcuts, Meder 125-161, generally good impressions, high crown watermark [Meder Tafel IV, 20] in 8 bifolia (A1.8 in facsimile, tiny wormhole in first two cuts, small holes and occasional repaired tear at margins, light stains, most plates on guards). 20th-century half blue straight-grained roan gilt.
