CRE DURER, Albrecht; (German; 1471-1528) Label: "There is no agreement about the subject of this early masterpiece. Set against the backdrop of Nuremberg Castle, a beautiful woman is carried off across the Pegnitz river. Possibly, Dürer represents a German myth connected with the river. Equally, Italian influences may be at play: the nymph's pose and hair style are classical, and the frieze-like figures resemble those in Mantegna's engravings such as the Battle of the Sea Gods, which Dürer certainly knew." | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | MONSTER : RIVER : FIGURE : FSDI : VIEW OF NUREMBERG : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
