Animals and creachers artist research: Albrecht Durer

Albrecht Durher is an artist that has created a wide variety of paintings throughout his career during the renaissance. Amongst these paintings there is a large veriety of animal pieces. His work is usually realistic and painted or drawn in a very classical way. Durher also created a lot of woodcuts that  were used as a stamp to print out images. 

Dead Bluebird - Albrecht Durer - www.albrecht-durer.org

Above is a painting by Durher entitled Dead Bluebird. The thing i like most about this painting is the deep blue colour used in the wings. I also love how soft and realistic the feathers look. 

'Rhinoceros' 1515 (woodcut print)

The image above is a wood cut print entitled: rhinoceros. I admire this image because of how complex it must have been to create. The tiny details in this print would have been so hard to cut into a piece of wood. i also love how it isn’t exactly realistic and it looks like the Rhino is wearing some kind of armour this makes the image a lot more interesting.
