[Brad]

This is a fantastic article, made possible through the use of digital technology, about Albrecht Durer’s Self Portrait, painted in 1500 at the age of 28. The portrait hangs in Munich’s Alte Pinakothek.

Excellent presentation! I saw the original in 1970 when my late parents took me to the 500 year exhibition in Nuremburg. Still have the catalogue they bought. A remarkable artist. I highly recommend reading his diaries (no idea if there's an English translation).

Thanks for linking!
