Coat of Arms with a Lion and a Cock - Amand-Durand after Albrecht Durer

Coat of Arms with a Lion and a Cock. Artist: Charles Amand-Durand, French (1831 - 1905) after design from Albrecht Dürer, German (1471 - 1528).. Description: The fact that this coat of arms has not been connected to a family makes it likely that Dürer produced this engraving to showcase his dazzling skill with the burin. The exuberant foliage, the mane of the rearing lion, the glinting helmet, and the feathers of the cock all are cut into the plate in a virtuoso display of his unrivaled ability to render a variety of distinctive textures. Signed on plate. Year: c. 1873 Medium: Heliogravure on wove paper. Size: 32x46 cms. Condition: one light stain on left margin.
