EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print showcases Albrecht Durer's iconic self-portrait, created around 1512-1513 or 1519. The photograph, taken in 1936, captures the essence of Durer's introspective masterpiece. In the image, the artist is seen standing with his finger pointing towards a yellow spot on his body while expressing his pain through an inscription that reads, "That is where it hurts". Durer's self-portrait is not only a representation of himself but also serves as a visual metaphor for human suffering and vulnerability. His nakedness symbolizes raw honesty and exposes both physical and emotional pain. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this sixteenth-century artwork, emphasizing its timeless quality. The photograph was featured in Wilhelm Waetzoldt's book titled "Durer und Seine Zeit" (Durer and His Time), published as part of Grosse Phaidon Ausgabe in 1936. As one of Germany's most renowned artists from the Renaissance period, Albrecht Durer left an indelible mark on art history with his technical mastery and profound insights into the human condition. This print offers viewers a glimpse into Durer's world—a world filled with intricate details, deep emotions, and thought-provoking concepts. Displayed at Bremen Kunsthalle museum today, this remarkable portrait continues to captivate audiences worldwide by inviting them to explore their own inner struggles while appreciating the genius behind one man's artistic expression.
