Full title:
'Joachim and Anne Meeting at the Golden Gate', a woodcut from Albrecht Dürer's cycle 'Life of the Virgin', plagiarized by Marcantonio Raimondi

Full title original language:
'Anna und Joachim unter der Goldenen Pforte', woodcut from Albrecht Dürer's cycle 'Marienleben'

Abstract:
Since Marcantonio Raimondi omitted the famous monogram from his later copies of Dürer prints after about 1510 (replacing it with an empty tablet), it is plausible that this law-suit did take place. See the full commentary on Dürer in d_1511b.

Commentary: No commentaries for this record.
