1523
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Letter G is a 1523 ink by Hans Lützelburger, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a woodcut print featuring the letter "G" at its center. The letter is surrounded by a scene of death and decay, with a skeleton and a figure in a hooded cloak. The background of the print is a mottled brown color, which adds to the overall sense of age and decay. The level of detail in the print is impressive, with intricate lines and textures that give the image a sense of depth and dimensionality. The use of a single color also adds to the overall impact of the image, creating a sense of simplicity and elegance. This print is a great example of the work of Lützelburger, Hans, a master of the woodcut technique.
Hans Lützelburger (died June 1526), also known as Hans Franck, was a German blockcutter ("formschneider") for woodcuts, regarded as one of the finest of his day.
