Summary/Abstract: Works of German engravers who fundamentally influenced the development of the woodcut and the copper engraving in central Europe constitute an important part of the prints held in the Karásek Collection. Among them are works by the most important German masters of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, including Martin Schongauer, Michael Wolgemuth, Albrecht Dürer, and Hans Schäufelein (a pupil of Dürer’s), and also artists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries who found inspiration not only in Dürer’s engravings, but also in Italian, Netherlandish, and French art.
