The Rhinoceros

Story

A thick-skinned rhinoceros stands in profile, facing left, its body covered in overlapping plates and ornamental markings rendered through dense cross-hatched lines. The black ink lines sit against bare white paper, giving the creature a sculpted, almost armored appearance. This is a woodcut engraving by Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528), a German artist associated with the German Renaissance who also worked as an art theorist, copper engraver, and designer, and who created Adam and Eve.
