FROM A PRIVATE EUROPEAN COLLECTION MARTIN SCHONGAUER The Crucifixion.
Engraving, circa 1480. 108x72 mm; 4 1/4x2 7/8 inches, thread margins. Ex-collection the Albertina, Vienna (Lugt supplement 5, verso). A very good, well-inked and evenly printed impression of this extremely scarce print.
Lehrs cites only 25 impressions. We locate only 3 impressions in North American public collections (Art Institute of Chicago; Cleveland Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) and have not found another impression at auction in the past 20 years. Bartsch 22; Lehrs 10.
