 "Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) was probably the greatest graphical artist of the Northern Renaissance. He is the first to have elevated the self-portrait to a high art form, and was known for his fascination with animals, which form the subjects of many of his graphical works. He reveled in portraying men of learning and/or high stature as well as peasants, believing that portraits of the latter could be as instructive as those of the former. " (Source: Editor's Introduction: Memoirs of Journeys to Venice and the Low Countries. Translated by:Tombo, Rudolf, 1875-1914).
