paintasyoulike: paintasyoulike: Albrecht Durer (1471-15) Self Portrait It is also tellingly similar to a small detail in Dürer’s 1500 Self-portrait which Joseph Leo Koerner drew attention to (top)1. At the very lower edge where the image meets the frame some hairs of fur on Durer’s sleeve peer like “eyelashes” from the bottom of the painting. They are so close to the edge that they are often cropped in reproduction. Koerner did not make the link between the sleeve and an eye but, to my mind, the sleeve in resembling eyelashes and the curve of an eye links Dürer’s unseen hand with his eye just as the far eye in Melanchthon’s portrait suggests a hand at work engraving the clouds. http://www.everypainterpaintshimself.com/article_images_new/ddd.jpg .com/article_images_new/ddd.jpg Left right side -- source link
