The painting of the hare is lovely and it is interesting to see the rhino woodcut produced largely from Durer's imagination. He was obviously fascinated by the skin, giving the rhino that impressive suit of armour!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792703802542843791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-9526479583834848322016-08-24T20:50:59.409+01:002016-08-24T20:50:59.409+01:00If I read that right....the amazing statues gaurd ...If I read that right....the amazing statues gaurd and empty tomb.
