Description

Soon after the completion of his major illustrated books of 1511, Dürer initiated a period of experimentation with new engraving techniques that lasted until 1518 including drypoint and etching. Dürer’s Agony in the Garden, one of the first etchings produced by a German artist, reveals the sketch–like freedom of movement that the etching medium allowed, as opposed to the laborious control of the burin that traditional engraving required.
