This painting is a self portrait of a German painter named Albrecht Durer. I think this painting is interesting because I always wonder how many of the famous renaissance artists looked; and I feel like Durer portrayed himself realistically. Durer was also the closest thing to a Da Vinci the Northern European renaissance had. In addition to being an artist, he was also a printmaker and mathematician. I've recently just discovered him in art class, and I think I was truly missing out before I became a witness to his work. He was truly a great genius and talent of his day.
