Albrecht Dürer's "Rhinoceros" is an iconic woodcut print from 1515, famous for its detailed yet fantastical depiction of the animal. The poster likely showcases Dürer's intricate linework, portraying a rhinoceros with an almost armored appearance, complete with scales and an extra horn on its back. Despite Dürer never having seen a real rhinoceros, his interpretation became the standard European image of the animal for centuries. The print demonstrates Dürer's exceptional skill in woodcut technique and his ability to create a compelling image based on secondhand descriptions. This artwork is celebrated for its blend of artistic imagination and attempts at scientific representation, making it a fascinating piece of both art and natural history.
