Albrecht Dürer d.Ä. and two other artists
1497
From the collection of Bamberg State Library
You see three artists at a cluttered table. A drawing lies flat near the edge, next to two upright paintings. One figure holds a brush, another works at a press. A candle burns on the drawing’s edge, casting light that feels real. This is a rare peek at how artists saw each other in 1764. It’s not a photo, but a print based on old templates. The candle adds drama—almost like the scene will catch fire. Look up this print at the Museum of Ethnography.
