Dürer at The National Gallery London
Since we can travel virtually and live vicariously online, here are some images from the Dürer show at London's National Gallery. They are for the most part engravings; look for the fine detail which we can enjoy as miniature lovers. Scroll down for the famous Melancholia and more...
And now for some anthropomorphic rocks!
@Anastasia Doran this one's for you
Hands are hard. Those are good hands!
I was able to quickly check proportions with my sleeping baby who was with me...
A small oil painting
Note the beautifully realised veiling of translucent colour - achievable in oils
A sketch that reminds me of a comic strip!
Ah, Melancholia - or Melencholia as he spells it... much more to say on this work so I'll save it for a future class. It's fascinating
Notice the magic square!
Really?
Reminds me of a miniature painting drawing. They have much in common. Now this is iron gall ink @Sara !
Puzzled as to why he would hold up his age on a piece of paper
Glad he was also open-minded - and bought the painting by the lady who 'amazed' him
On green grounded paper
Ah, Patinir, one of my favourite painters
Not a mistake! The finger is there to show scale
I love paintings of books and papers
Amazing works, Vaishali!!! Thanks so much! He was quite fond of Saint Jerome.
