Olde Studies 04
A silly sampling of Van Der Weyden’s The Entombment (left) and one of the wisest of men–a rare sighting of a coloured person in the Renaissance–from Dürer’s The Adoration Of The Magi (right). Maybe it’s just me, but I always get caught off guard when I see one of Dürer’s paintings. I’ve always associated him as an engraver / draughtsman, as his body of work shows. But he’s proof that a brother’s gotta get paid, right Church?
Do note: all these samplings from old religious paintings are NOT a sign that I’m getting all holy on your asses. I just think they make for silly drawings. That is all.
