Albrecht Dürer's rare work goes on display in London

Hello classmates:

Today I’m going to talk about an article that I read in www.theguardian.com/uk.

This article is not my taste but is the most interesting for me.

The headline of this article is : Albrecht Dürer's rare work goes on display in London

I’ll write a summary about this topic:

This topic talks about the life of Albrecht Durer, his rare works and about an exhibition about him at the Courtauld Gallery in London.

This exhibition aims to show his amazing process of self-invention that converted him in a genius of northern Renaissance

Some works that exhibition shows are portraits and images converted in prints. In this images appear his mind in action. Well, I searched in web about his works and it was amazing.

The exhibition includes a self-portrait in that appears his melancholic gaze. He was a first in depict his own body, because this is art about himself

Albrecht Dürer was a marketing man , he employs two agent to sell his prints

He made a portrait of his wife Agnes . In this portrait , he marked in a neat hand : mein Agnes (my Agnes)

…"He was definitely not a lonely genius," said Buck. "There's no way he would have cut off his ear … he was a networked artist"….

Well, is an interesting topic, you should read it

Bye!
