Historical Figures and Allegorical Art

Engravings depicting historical and allegorical figures, such as muses and saints. The designs emphasize elegance and symbolism in fine detail and intricate attire.

Mary Magdalen ca. 1490 Master i.e. German Despite its apparent simplicity, Mary Magdalen, is one of Master i.e.'s most accomplished works. He depicted the patron saint of hairdressers and perfumers as a graceful, pensive figure clothed in an elegant robe, with her hair tied in large braids around her head. She delicately grasps her attribute, the jar containing the ointment with which she anointed Christ's feet. The depiction of the saint as a single figure, removed from any narrative and standing on a schematically indicated mound of earth, is related to prints by the great fifteenth-century northern European printmaker Martin Schongauer, but Master i.e. depicted his saint on a much larger scale and rendered the costume with an intricate brocade seldom seen in his teacher's work.We know very little about the author of this beautiful engraving. He was most likely active in the shop of Martin Schongauer, to whom much of his work is stylistically indebted. Our name for this unknown artis
