The Fall and Redemption of Man by Albrecht Altdorfer: Four black and white woodcut scenes on aged paper. The upper left scene shows two men outdoors; one bends over and touches the body of another lying on the ground. The upper right scene depicts people gathered around a low rectangular table in a cave; a figure on the right holds a body over the table. The lower left scene contains a group of people outdoors looking up at smoke and fire; a building burns in the background. The lower right scene contains a central figure sitting on a chariot; the figure has a large sunburst behind, surrounded by a group of people. The large empty space between and around the four scenes is off-white with darker spots throughout.
