FROM THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO’S CATALOG

Albrecht Altdorfer, known as one of the Little Masters (in German, Kleinmeister) along with Georg Pencz and the brothers Barthel and Sebald Beham, excelled at creating prints on a minute scale, whether in intaglio or relief. This woodcuts is part of a series entitled The Fall and Redemption of Man contrasting the expulsion of Adam and Eve from paradise with Christ’s Passion narrative. Connoisseurs would have collected these diminutive prints as an entire cycle and often pasted them into albums.
