Paysage aux deux épicéas

ca. 1521–22
Not on view
Sur une toute petite plaque à graver, Altdorfer a dessiné une vue panoramique de la vallée du Danube serpentant au-delà des deux arbres qui dominent le premier plan, vers les villages nichés au pied de lointaines montagnes. Ces images vivantes, dépourvues de toute référence historique ou religieuse, furent les premières gravures d’Europe occidentale à faire passer le paysage du rôle de décor à celui de sujet. Altdorfer semble avoir créé ces scènes, devenues rares, à l’intention d’un public restreint de connaisseurs qui appréciaient les sujets intimistes et inhabituels. La spontanéité et la liberté remarquables du trait de cette eau-forte trouvent écho dans les nombreux paysages dessinés par l’artiste.
