Durer's Self-Portrait
7:00 AMDurer, Durer's Self-Portrait,1500 |
But maybe Durer illustrated himself as an ordinary human. His fancy cloak has a tear, resembling the corruption of greed. Or the dark background implies the difference between good and bad or dark and light. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but Durer paints a mug shot of himself as if he was convicted of murder.
Like it or not, Durer’s self-portrait hangs in the Louvre. Is it good?...That is your decision.
