Melencolia I., Albrecht Dürer, artist, 1514, Germany, engraving, This is one of Albrecht Dürer's three Meisterstiche ('master engravings'), representing him at the height of his powers in the mid-1510s. The other two are Knight, Death and the Devil and St Jerome in his Study. Almost every major institutional collection has an impression (copy) of at least one of these three prints, as do many private print collections. Te Papa has two impressions of Melencolia I but the others are not yet represented.
