*Durer (Albrecht, 1471-1528). Ulrich Varnbuler, 1522, chiaroscuro woodcut printed from three blocks: black line block, very pale green, and very pale yellow tone blocks, on laid paper with faint watermark of a circle with two arcs and a flourish (Meder 258), a very good Meder IIIa impression, well registered, printing with strong relief, trimmed just outside the borderline, with the address of W. Janssen (Blaeu) trimmed off at the lower edge, single brown spot towards lower left, generally in excellent condition, sheet size 435 x 334 mm (17.15 x 13.2 ins), framed and glazed, with early 20th century label of P. & D. Colnaghi & Co., 15 Old Bond Street (hand corrected to 14) to verso Bartsch 155. Schoch, Mende, and Scherbaum 256. Strauss 196. The present work is Durer's largest printed portrait. The distinguished classical scholar Ulrich Varnbüler (1474-1544) was appointed by Emperor Maximilian in 1507 as pronotary at the Imperial Law Court in Speyer, a position he held continuously until his death, becoming its Chancellor in 1531. He became a close friend of both Dürer and Willibald Pirckheimer around 1515. In 1519 Varnbüler issued a German translation of Erasmus's tract Dulce bellum inexperto and in 1522, the year of Dürer's woodcut, Pirckheimer dedicated a Latin translation of Lucian's dialogue Navis seu Vota to Varnbüler in which he refers to the friendship between himself, Durer, and Varnbuler. Dürer's dedication on the woodcut reads: Albrecht Dürer of Nuremberg wishes to make known to posterity and to honour by this likeness his dearest friend Ulrich, surnamed Varnbüler, confidential and principal secretary to the Imperial Roman Government. No contemporary colour impressions of this woodcut are recorded. During the Dürer Renaissance in the Netherlands in the late 16th century, Hendrik Hondius issued impressions of the monochrome line block around 1600. The block then passed to Willem Janssen (Blaeu), who cut two additional blocks and printed chiaroscuro impressions sometime after 1620. Strauss lists eleven chiaroscuro impressions of this woodcut in museum collections. The original preparatory charcoal drawing for the woodcut is in the Albertina, Vienna. (1)
