Exhibition of Diirer’s Work.

359. The Vibgin and Child with St. Anne. B 29. C.D. 26.
Date about 1500.
360. The Burgundian Standard-Bearer. B. 87. C.D. 27.
Date about 1500.
361. The Dream. B. 76. C.D. 28.
Date about 1500.
The exact subject of this plate is obscure, but it is clearly one of a moralizing
tendency.

362. Hercules (Second state). B. 73. C.D. 29.
Date about 1500.
There is an earlier, unfinished state, lacking in the British Museum.
(Impressions : Berlin, Vienna.) The subject of this plate (which is often
named “ The Effects of Jealousy ”) is probably the punishment of the
Centaur Eurytion by Hercules for the attempted rape of Hippodamia.
363. The Sea Monsteb. B. 71. C.D. 30.
Date about 1501.
The subject has been variously interpreted as the rape of Amymone by
Neptune, Glaucus and Scylla, Nessus and Deianira, the rape of Theodolinda,
wife of Chlojo and the rescue of Perimele by Achelous.
364. Justice. B. 79. C.D. 31.
Date about 1501.
365. St. Eustace. B. 57. C.D. 32.
Date about 1501.
Sometimes referred to as St. Hubert, with whom the legend is connected
in the Netherlands and France, but Diirer himself repeatedly calls this
plate “ Eustachius ” in his Netherlands Journal, and in South German
art the legend is always connected with this saint.
366. Nemesis. B. 77. C.D. 33.
Date about 1501—2.
Often referred to as the Great Fortune, cf. above, no. 347. The subject is
derived from Poliziano’s poem Manto, with which Diirer can have become
acquainted through Pirkheimer.
