Master of Petrarch (German woodcutter, active in Augsburg ca. 1515-ca. 1522)
|
Note: The artist is named from his most famous woodcuts, those illustrating the German edition of Petrarch's "De remediis utriusque fortunae" published in 1532 (completed 1519-1520) in two volumes under the title "Von der Artzney bayder Glück, des guten vnd widerwertigen." Sebastian Brant was pictorial advisor for the project and may have been instrumental in the designing of the book. Although many scholars (Dodgson, Friedländer, Fraenger) agree that Hans Weiditz II and the Master of Petrarch are the same artist, there is still debate about this issue. Musper and Buchner, for example, distinguish two hands when contrasting work from Strasbourg with that from Augsburg. |
