A wonderful Lobmeyr hunting scene, as an example of precious copper wheel engraved masterpiece. Albrecht Altdorfer (1480-1538) has been one of the Masters of the Renaissance besides Cranach and Dürer. Stefan Rath selected the scene from one of his works.

In over 160 hours of work a master engraver creates a piece like that, using several different stone and copper wheels for all the details. There is no other technique to achieve this level of plasticity and liveliness.
