Albrecht DAOErer perspective machine for drawings 1525
Albrecht Durer perspective machine for drawings " Draughtsman drawing a lute" a woodcut by Albrecht Durer showing how to make a perspective drawing of a lute. This appears in his Underweysung der Messung ( 1525 ), the first mathematical book to be published in German. In 1525 the artist Albrecht Durer published a treatise on measurement which included a series of illustrations of drawing frames and perspective machines. The aim of these devices was to enable artists to take accurate measurements of their chosen subject or to trace a scene as it appeared before them in order to create a convincing illusion of the real world. Durer discusses in the book of " Underweysung der Messung " an assortment of mechanisms for drawing in perspective from models and provides woodcut illustrations of these methods that are often reproduced in discussions of perspective

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albrecht Dürer's groundbreaking perspective machine for drawings, created in 1525. The woodcut, titled "Draughtsman drawing a lute" is an illustration from his influential book "Underweysung der Messung" (The Four Books on Measurement). As the first mathematical publication in German, this treatise revolutionized the art world during the Renaissance. In this image, we witness Dürer's dedication to accuracy and realism. His perspective machine allowed artists to capture precise measurements of their subjects or trace scenes as they appeared before them. By doing so, they could create convincing illusions of the real world within their artwork. Dürer's book delves into various mechanisms for drawing in perspective from models and provides woodcut illustrations that are still widely reproduced today. This particular engraving beautifully captures the essence of diminishing perspective, with its vanishing point skillfully incorporated. As we admire this black and white etching created in the 19th century by Grafissimo, we are transported back to a time when artistic techniques were being refined and perfected. It serves as a testament to Dürer's genius and his significant contribution to both art and mathematics during the Middle Ages. This stunning print is perfect for those who appreciate old-fashioned craftsmanship and seek inspiration from historical masterpieces. Whether you're an artist yourself or simply an admirer of fine art, this Albrecht Dürer perspective machine print will undoubtedly captivate your imagination.
