Context:

Etching was first practiced by armorers to incise designs on metal. It was only in the 16th century that artists began to apply it to printmaking. The etching process allows the artist the same freedom of execution possible with a pen, and consequently most resembles a drawing.

Of all the prints Dürer produced, he only created six etchings. In this work he etched on iron which was deeply bitten by the acid. His lines are thick and wiry and give a uniquely rugged vitality to the image. This print has particular importance as a precedent for the later panoramic landscapes of both Hirschvogel and Lautensack.
