Great video

[@AccessibleArtHistory]

Thank you so much!

[@bambie1830]

it is also a moment during the religious revolution between catholic ideas of needing clergy to access god and the Lutheran idea of people able to have a personal connection with the creator. His painting was an act of rebellion braking away from the dogma, saying i have just as much right as any man in robes to connect with a higher power.

Excellent point!

This is a great analysis! Any scholarship you might suggest reading on this topic?

[@AccessibleArtHistory]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I got most of my info from either art history survey books, the internet, and my class notes from a northern Renaissance class during my undergraduate degree. I haven't read anything specifically on Dürer.

[@amritansh8659]

You can perhaps try reading Erwin Panofsky's 'The life and Art of Albrecht Durer', most of the stuff you read online are somewhat interpretations of what Erwin wrote in Durer's biography.

@@amritansh8659 Thanks for the suggestion! I'm adding this to my to read list!

Nice video. Although Personally, I don't believe he was trying to pertain to anything other than what he thought he looked like in a different view. It does seem like it relates, to the way that Christ would be drawn. But I do not believe that he was trying to draw him as or in his likeness. It doesn't appear to me that way, at least
