Beskrivning
A precise 1502 study of a hare by Albrecht Dürer, rendered with meticulous attention to fur texture and anatomical detail.
Albrecht Dürer created this study of a hare in 1502. It is a work of precise observation, executed in watercolour and bodycolour. The artist captures the animal in a crouched position, focusing on the texture of the fur and the alertness of the creature. Dürer uses a combination of fine brushstrokes and washes to build the volume of the hare, moving from lighter tones to darker, denser patches of brown and grey. The whiskers are rendered with thin, sharp lines, while the ears show a careful study of light and shadow.
This piece is an example of the artist's interest in the natural world. Dürer moved away from the symbolic representations common in medieval art, choosing instead to document the physical reality of his subject. The hare is positioned against a plain background, which directs the viewer's attention to the anatomical details. The signature monogram and the date are visible at the bottom, indicating the artist's pride in this specific observation. The work remains a primary example of early modern naturalism, demonstrating how Dürer applied his technical skill to subjects outside of religious or portraiture commissions.
The paper shows signs of age, which adds to the character of the print. The composition is balanced, with the hare occupying the centre of the frame. This study provides insight into the methods used by Northern Renaissance artists to record biological subjects. It is a direct, honest depiction that avoids unnecessary ornamentation, relying on the quality of the draughtsmanship to convey the subject's presence.

Artist Biography
Albrecht Durer
Dürer brought the Italian Renaissance to northern Europe and took northern European printmaking to Italy. He went both ways. He visited Venice twice (1494-95 and 1505-07) and absorbed the colour, light, and anatomical precision of Bellini and Mantegna. He brought back a confidence in the human figure that German art had not previously possessed. In return, he showed the Venetians what could be done with a woodcut and an engraving burin.
He was born in Nuremberg, the son of a Hungarian goldsmith. He trained as a goldsmith himself before apprenticing with the painter and printmaker Michael Wolgemut. The metalwork training gave him the manual precision that made his prints extraordinary. Melencolia I, Knight, Death and the Devil, and Saint Jerome in His Study, all made between 1513 and 1514, are among the finest engravings ever produced. The density of cross-hatching, the control of tonal gradation, the rendering of fur, feathers, and stone: these are virtuoso performances in a medium that most artists treated as reproductive.
He drew a rhinoceros from a description and a sketch sent by letter. He had never seen one. Dürer's Rhinoceros (1515) is anatomically wrong in several respects (the animal has an extra horn and armour plating) but it remained the standard European image of a rhinoceros for three centuries.
He was one of the first artists to paint self-portraits as a primary subject. The Self-Portrait at Twenty-Eight (1500) shows him facing the viewer directly, with long hair and a fur coat, in a pose traditionally reserved for Christ. It was either an act of supreme confidence or deliberate blasphemy. Probably both.
