Stock, a Dutch printmaker active during the early seventeenth century, produced this work as part of a broader interest in documenting the appearance of historical figures. The composition is framed within an oval, a common convention for portraiture of the period, which directs attention to the subject's features and attire. Dürer is depicted with his characteristic long, wavy hair and a fur-trimmed garment, reflecting the style associated with his own self-portraits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical execution demonstrates the precision typical of seventeenth-century copperplate engraving. Stock employs a system of cross-hatching and varied line weights to model the form of the face and the texture of the fur collar. The background is filled with a dense grid pattern, which provides a neutral field that pushes the portrait forward. Below the oval frame, a cartouche contains a Latin inscription, identifying the subject and acknowledging the source of the likeness, which cites a painting by Tommaso Vincidor. This inclusion of textual information is a standard feature of historical portrait prints, providing context for the viewer regarding the lineage of the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a piece of historical documentation, the print reflects the seventeenth-century fascination with the lives of earlier artists. Stock’s work functions as a record of how Dürer was perceived and remembered by later generations of printmakers. The clarity of the lines and the balanced composition make this an example of the technical proficiency found in Dutch printmaking workshops of the era. It remains a clear representation of the subject, rendered with the disciplined approach characteristic of the period's reproductive print culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/title-page-illustrations-of-the-book-of-job-william-blake\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTitle Page, Illustrations of the Book of Job - William Blake — William Blake\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/dwarsdoorsnede-longen-lucas-kilian\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDwarsdoorsnede longen - Lucas Kilian — Lucas Kilian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Andries Jacobsz Stock","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58748147564879,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58748150350159,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58748150382927,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58748150415695,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58748150448463,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58748150481231,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58748150513999,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58748150546767,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58748150579535,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58748150612303,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58748150645071,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58748150677839,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Albrecht-D-rer-of-Nuremberg-Painter-and-Engraver_Poster_CompositorV1_1789125502481.jpg?v=1789126214","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/portrait-of-albrecht-durer-of-nuremberg-painter-and-engraver-andries-jacobsz-stock","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
