Albrecht Dürer made this print of a ‘fast, lively and cunning’ rhino without ever seeing one!
A rhinoceros arrived in Portugal in 1515 aboard a ship from India and caused a sensation in Europe. Dürer produced this print from a description, and perhaps a sketch, which explains why the rhino has armour plates and large scales. Despite this, it’s one of the most famous depictions of the animal.
The German Renaissance artist was born #onthisday in 1471.
