This week, we looked at Durer’s most iconic self-portrait. Below is another self-portrait of his that I would like you to analyze. Think about composition, color, setting, pose, what is the overall tone? This needs to be two paragraphs of good information. As much as I love to hear your opinion in class, this is all facts with supporting evidence.
Albrecht Durer, Self-Portrait, 1498, oil on panel, 20 x 20, Prado Museum, Madrid, Spain
Written response: this will be a regular journal assignment responding to the prompt. There should be specific examples. Don’t just tell me “in the Lamentation,” but WHERE specifically, “the emotion is seen on Mary’s face within the Lamentation scene.” I cannot stress this enough. Two to three paragraphs of good information that answers the question – no fluff, not giving me background on the artist, the movement, elaborating on the Biblical story, etc. Only relevant facts that pertain to the question. Please do not upload a Word document, just type straight into the text box.
