2/2 The Durer Rhinoceros - Masterpieces of the British Museum

• Masterpieces of the Br...
Episode 5/6 Albrecht Durers Rhinoceros is one of the most famous works in the British Museum collection. It is also one of the great images of European art--an image that has taken on an iconic status all its own. But what is so special about this simple woodcut of a lumbering, clumsy, Asian animal? Why has it influenced generations of artists, designers and craftsmen ?

I love Durer’s drawings, especially the Hare.

Surely one of the best films I've seen about the British Museum's holdings. I've always loved Dürer, but I didn't know how much I didn't know about his work until I saw this video.

Fascinating of several levels, and definitely well produced.
