About Max Lehrs

  • Max Lehrs (24 June 1855, Berlin – 12 November 1938, Dresden) was a German art historian and long-time director of the Dresden Kupferstichskabinett, 1896–1904, and 1908–24, with the intervening as director in Berlin.
  • He is especially noted for his work on 15th-century German and Dutch engravers, and the numbers from his catalogues are still the most commonly used in modern references for many artists.
  • Lehrs went blind while still writing his works, which were completed with the help of his daughter and his memory, leading to some lapses in late works.
