great portraits #4
Dürer was the great master of the northern Renaissance. This painting, dated 1500, is inscribed: 'Thus I, Albrecht Dürer from Nuremburg, painted myself with indelible colours at the age of 28 years.' You can make as much or as little as you wish of it. To me it's just an amazingly haunting self-portrait.
