1526
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Councillor is a 1526 ink by Hans Lützelburger, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a scene of three men, with the central figure wearing a long robe and a hat. The man on the right appears to be speaking to him, while the man on the left is holding a staff and looking at the central figure with a serious expression. A small creature is perched on the central figure's shoulder, adding to the sense of drama and tension in the scene. The scene is rendered in a detailed and intricate style, with fine lines and textures that give the image a sense of depth and dimensionality. The use of shading and contrast adds to the overall mood of the image, creating a sense of drama and tension. This image is a woodcut, a technique that was popular during the Renaissance period. It is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
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.
