We began class by finishing the topic of Mannerism and looked at Agnolo Bronzino work. Brozino’s work did a particularly good job of highlighting the complexity and bizarre nature of Mannerism. We also discussed the High Renaissance in the North of Europe. We focused primarily on the work of Albrecht Dürer. In his self portrait, Dürer depicts himself resembling Jesus. This portrays him as narcissistic, as he is also painted in a manner typically reserved for God. His work, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, was an incredibly detailed wood carving, which displayed his skill. With the development of printmaking, Dürer’s works were able to be spread throughout Europe.
