HANS SEBALD LAUTENSACK Landscape with a Vineyard.
Etching, 1554-55. 205x303 mm; 8 1/8x12 inches, thread margins. Second state (of 4). The letters B G in a circle watermark (Briquet 9288). A very good impression of this scarce etching. Lautensack (1524-circa 1560) was among the earliest printmakers to create pure landscape etchings. He carried on a legacy initiated by Albrecht Altdorfer in his landscape etchings from some 30 years earlier, culminating in some of the finest, most fluid landscape prints of the 16th century, before the theme was taken up again by Rembrandt in the 1640s. Bartsch 53; Hollstein 10.
