1509
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Border - with The Baptism of Christ is a 1509 by Albrecht Dürer, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print is packed with small scenes framed like windows. At the top, angels and a bearded man in clouds watch over a woman in blue robes. Below, two panels show a man being baptized in water while another man looks on. The sides have tall buildings and people climbing or falling. The middle has a long block of text in fancy letters. The baptism scene looks like it’s copied from another famous work—Dürer often did that. The print mixes religious stories with a busy, almost crowded look. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
Albrecht Dürer spent his life in Nuremberg, a busy German city where artists traded prints like currency.
