Brielle - 16th Century Art





This is a photo of the engraving done by Albrecht DÜRER entitled Apollo and Diana I chose this image because I was struck by how complex and intricate the modeling of the flesh is (it's difficult to see from this photo, but the skin is incredibly detailed and looks real.) The engraving is very similar
to the engraving by Jacopo de Barbari (right). I prefer the engraving by Durer because I think the structure of the bodies is much stronger.
