Its theme was the ascension of Mary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central panel was lost in a fire in 1729. More than twenty preliminary sketches survive, and this Heller altarpiece study is the most famous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHands in Pen and White\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawing dates to about 1508. Durer used pen and ink with white highlights on blue paper he prepared himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is held at the Albertina in Vienna. A newer theory says the Heller altarpiece study may record hands from an Italian painting. A popular tale names Durer's brother as the model, but that story is unverified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis praying hands sculpture suits a quiet shelf, as a Christian devotion statue.
