Saint George with the Stork's Nest

Prints and Drawings

c. 1450

Master E. S.
German, active c. 1450-1467

Approximately 300 prints are known by the anonymous master who signed many of his prints with the initials E.S. His work dominated the art of engraving at mid-century. This highly detailed plate of his early maturity is shown in a particularly rich impression which reflects his mastery as a goldsmith as well.
