Christ and Martha / The healing of Lazarus.

2 woodcuts, 25,3 x 17,4 cm, laid paper (sm. wormhole at upper left centre, some stains, trimmed to borderline).

Stuck by upper corners under passe-partout. Good impressions.

With woodcuts on recto and verso, the sheet represents an interior scene with Christ in the house of Mary and Martha. The verso depicts the exorcism of the Devil and the healing of Lazarus. The woodcuts are illustrations to Stephan Frigolin's "Der Schatzbehalter", printed in Nuremberg by Anton Koberger. Printed and illustrated at around the same time as the famous Weltchronik, the "Schatzbehalter" contains a set of 96 woodcuts designed by Michel Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff.
