~The epitaph at Dürer's grave
* For Art Thursday, German artist Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). I love how Dürer tries to show all the action in St Michael fighting the Dragon:

Addendum: * I'm actually a fan of Valentine's Day! I forgot about it when I was making this post, though. I did some gelli plate printing for my valentines -- first time I used one -- and it was So Much Fun. If you are an imprecise person like myself, check them out. They are forgiving.
Durer's woodcuts are amazing. His paintings were extremely precise and balanced.
ReplyDeleteLoved his epitaph, too. :-)
