I am fascinated by the visual language of the Middle Ages. I love its tyranny, brilliance and absurdity.

About Dauernd Dürer

07 Sep 20225 EDITIONS

Dauernd Dürer refers to the great German medieval artist Albrecht Dürer. Dauernd means always because, well, we can digest his work 24/7 right? I found this sketch by Dürer which is pretty hilarious. It depicts - I hope I get this right - emperor Charles the Great/Charlemagne. I believe it is a sketch for his only commissioned panel painting for the Nuremberg's city council and shows a pair of portraits of the Emperors Charlemagne and Sigismund.
