Jost Amman

Jost Amman belongs to the world of Northern Renaissance printmaking and draughtsmanship, working above all in pen and black and gray ink with a double framing line drawn by his own hand. His subjects range across religious themes, as in The Penitent St. Jerome, rendered with the precise linear discipline typical of sixteenth-century German draftsmanship. This archive holds a single sheet by the artist, dated 1539, executed in the pen-and-ink technique noted above.
