From the museum
Venetian painter and printmaker Jacopo de’ Barbari became the court artist to Emperor Maximilian I in Nuremberg, Albrecht Dürer’s hometown, around 1500. Dürer later credited De’ Barbari with awakening his interest in the study of human proportions. De’ Barbari made several engravings while in German lands, including the Risen Christ, whose dates coincide with Dürer’s Adam and Eve. The nude men that appear in both compositions suggest an exchange of ideas. Dürer’s figure of Adam features the proportions of Italian art, and De’ Barbari’s long, crossed lines punctuated with dots are similar to Dürer’s modeling technique.
