Wood Engraving Blocks
How large was Albrecht Durer's artwork?
I'm in 7th grade and am studying the Renaissance.
Albrecht Durer, famous Renaissance artist, was known for his prints made from carving the image into wood or metal, putting ink on it, and then putting it on a large paper like a stamp.
I understand that some believe that a skilled carpenter actually carved Durer's paintings, but with each peice of artworks extreme detail and fullness, how large was the block of wood or metal it was on? I asked my teacher, but he said he wasn't sure. Can someone help?
Also, how time consuming was the engraving? I assume it must have taken months.
Durer's works, like most prints of the time, aren't large - about A4 - but most were his own. Yes, it takes time to make a wood engraving, but that's the nature of making art.

| | Wood Engraving $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Wood engraving is a relief printing technique, where the end grain of wood is used as a medium for engraving, thus differing from the older technique of woodcut, where the softer side grain is used.The technique of wood engraving developed at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, with the works of Thomas Bewick. Bewick generally made his engraving in harder woods than normally used, and would engrave the end of a block instead of the side. Finding a knife not suitable for working against the grain in harder woods, Bewick used the engraving tool the burin, which has a Vshaped cutting tip.
