Oil and paper on canvas. Monogrammed in the lower left. 81 x 100 cm.
In the artist's original frame. [MH].
- From the series of 20 paintings entitled “Dürer's Garden” - an homage to the great Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. - Lüpertz draws on Dürer's master engravings “Melancholia,” “St. Jerome in His Study,” and “Knight, Death, and the Devil.” - Markus Lüpertz creates a new pictorial universe in each of his works, leaving plenty of room for interpretation. - Today, his paintings can be found in numerous important collections, including the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Prof. Markus Lüpertz, to whom we are grateful for his kind support.

In good condition. Pieces of painted paper are incorporated into, among other places, the fire and the knight's head, which lends the surface a special plasticity. There are a few paint chips in the left and upper edges of the original artist's frame. The condition report was compiled in daylight and with the help of a UV light source to the best of our knowledge and belief.
