Description

In today's A Long Look, we'll find out how German artist Albrecht Dürer pushed the limits of engraving by experimenting with tools used by armorers and goldsmiths. And we'll discover how his love of Italian art and fascination with the human body led to this work.  Plus, we'll find out the meaning of that menagerie of animals surrounding these two.
