Artist: Hans Sebald Beham (German, 1500-1550) Title: Fortuna Medium: Antique Copper Plate Engraving on Laid Paper after the Original by Renowned Master Engraver Amand Durand (1831-1905). Year: 1877 Signature: Signed and Dated in the plate. Condition: Excellent Dimensions: Image Size 2 1/8 x 3 1/8 inches. Framed Dimensions: Approximately 10 x 11 inches. Framing This piece has been professionally matted and framed using all new materials. Additional Notes: This is an original Amand Durand print. This impression is more than 120 years old. This is not a modern print. Most of the ones sold on the internet are modern re-strikes using Durand's plates. The quality of the Durand etchings are so good that many museums and galleries have ended up with Durand etchings that are shown as 17th century originals. We have found these same etchings on Gallery websites and on ebay for obscene asking prices. Although, many that we found were modern day reprints and not the originals like we are selling-the modern versions are on a heavy cream colored wove paper and though although the quality is nice, the plates have been reworked to the point that the image has lost the "look and feel" of the original. Artist Biography: Born to a family of artists, Hans Sebald Beham created an enormous body of work, including nearly 2,000 prints. His tiny engravings of widely varied subjects put him among the German printmakers whom scholars call the Little Masters. Known for both his intricate craft and his interest in depicting peasant life, Beham was equally comfortable in larger woodcut formats. He also designed playing cards, wallpaper, coats of arms, and patterns for other artists. Beham illuminated a prayerbook for Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, archbishop of Mainz, and also created his only surviving painting for the cardinal. In 1525 three "godless painters"--Hans Sebald, his brother Barthel Beham, and Georg Pencz--were banished from Nuremberg for asserting that they did not believe in baptism, Christ, or transubstantiation. They were able to return within months, but Beham was exiled again in 1528 for publishing a book believed to plagiarize an Albrecht Dürer manuscript. From about 1532 he worked in Frankfurt.

Reproductions of European Master Prints The Head of Christ, c. 1520 Sebald Beham, German (1500-1550) Fine Art Reproduction Reproduction Size: 14 x 9.3 inches This reproduction is a new, individually printed and proofed, superior quality, giclee* process, fine art print. It is printed on 100% cotton rag acid-free, heavyweight fine art paper with a luxurious textured watercolor paper finish and archival pigment inks to ensure permanence. Created for collectors, it IS NOT A POSTER or mass produced print on low quality, inexpensive paper. Born in Nuremberg, Beham spent the first half of his career under Durer's influence whose masterworks made an inevitable impact on his work. Durer's initials were added years later to this woodcut by an unknown party in a deliberate effort to attribute Christ's portrait to Albrecht Durer or his workshop. Regardless, the work is a masterwork engraving in its own right and would easily have passed as an authentic Durer in its day.

The file is then printed with a high-resolution photo generation printer on a fine art paper. Most artists and working photographers today use the giclee process to produce reproductions of their original artwork and photographs. As with any original art or fine art reproduction, it is recommended that prints are framed and displayed under glass to prevent color fade or shift over the years.
