Albrecht Altdorfer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows four black and white illustrations arranged in two rows of two. Top left: A man and woman stand facing away from the viewer, outdoors. The woman wears a long dress with a shawl and the man wears a long robe. A third person stands to their right, outdoors. A house, tree and cloudy sky are in the background. Top right: A chaotic scene depicts several people outdoors in front of a building with an arched entryway. A large hairy creature appears to be leaning over a group of people. Bottom left: A man on horseback leads a procession of people through a city. One person walks to the side of the horse wearing a hat and carrying a staff. Bottom right: A group of people wearing robes surround a seated figure. One person appears to be sitting at a table with the seated figure while others stand. A vaulted ceiling is in the background. The illustrations appear to be from "The Fall and Redemption of Man" by Albrecht Altdorfer.
