DÜRER, Albrecht: Seated Prophet

🖼 Seated Prophet, 1517
Pen
232 × 192 cm
Vienna, Austria

Seated in contemplative stillness, the prophet rendered in fine linear hatching displays intricate drapery and psychological depth. Dürer's 1517 study exemplifies Northern Renaissance mastery of printmaking and established the prophet as a vehicle for exploring human introspection and spiritual wisdom.
