Note du spécialiste
Lucas Cranach's Passion was first published in Wittenberg in 1509 and then, in diminishing quality as the blocks deteriorated, in six subsequent editions, the last being printed as late as 1616 in Amsterdam. Fine proof impressions without text, such as the present ones (see also lot 45), are exceedingly rare. Only in such clear, early impressions can the beauty of Cranach's woodcuts be fully appreciated.
