The printing of art presented a significant change in availability and distribution, as it was both mass-producible and cheap compared to other types of art we have examined so far.  It allowed many more people to see the exact same work of art and even to own prints, whereas altarpieces and sculptures generally do not travel and are seen only by those who travel to them.  I found it interesting how the storytelling we discussed last class carried through.  Albrecht D\u00fcrer&#8217;s <em>Apocalypse<\/em> series, for example, presents the stories of the Bible in a widely available visual format.  He was able to distribute immensely intricate prints to many people since he only needed to create the art once.  D\u00fcrer&#8217;s work provides an example of widespread popular art with a reach we have not seen before in that era.  The release of the series in conjunction with mass panic related to the year 1500 and the potential for apocalypse led to huge success for the artist, making him a household name across vast areas.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our discussion in this class introduced printing, specifically woodblock techniques.
