Griffin ca. 1435-1491 Martin Schongauer German A combination of an eagle and an ox, this griffin departs from traditional representations in which it is shown as part eagle, part lion. Martin Schongauer imparted a great deal of majesty and naturalism to this mythical beast, whose depiction is more effective than many of the artists images of animals from the natural world. The self-assured draftsmanship in this late work reveals Schongauers artistic maturity; most telling is the shape and texture of the feathers, which are suggested with a few bold strokes.. Griffin. Martin Schongauer (German, Colmar ca. 1435/50-1491 Breisach). ca. 1435-1491. Engraving. Prints
