  1. Albrecht Durer Albrecht Durer                                         Melencolia I, 1514 In the years 1513 and 1514, Albrecht Durer completed what is known together as the "meisterstiche", or "master engravings". Of these three engravings, Knight, Death and the Devil, St. Jerome in his Study, and Melencolia I, the latter has presented art historians with the most enigmatic iconology. 

  2. Albrecht Durer Anear the centre of that northern crest   Stands out level upland bleak and bare, From which the city east and south and west   Sinks gently in long waves; and throned there An Image sits, stupendous, superhuman, The bronze colossus of a winged Woman,   Upon a graded granite base foursquare  William Watson (1858–1935)

  3. Albrecht Durer What holds her fixed far eyes nor lets them range?  Not the strange sea, strange earth, or heav’n more strange;  But her own phantom dwarfing these great three,  More strange than all, more old than heav’n, earth, sea.   James Thomson (1834–82) What is this image about? Tell me the story. These poems were written about 250 years after Durer
