Albrecht Dürer / sighhh... Melencolia I

Art by the great Albrecht Dürer, Designed by Penta 

Melencolia I (Dürer 1514)

Melencolia I is a depiction of the intellectual situation of the artist and is thus, by extension, a spiritual self-portrait of Dürer. In medieval philosophy each individual was thought to be dominated by one of the four humors; melancholy, associated with black gall, was the least desirable of the four, and melancholics were considered the most likely to succumb to insanity. Renaissance thought, however, also linked melancholy with creative genius; thus, at the same time that this idea changed the status of this humor, it made the self-conscious artist aware that his gift came with terrible risks.

Painter and printmaker from the start of the German Renaissance, born in 1471 he was the first to bring art to the mainstream. We admire his work and wanted to pay homage to the world's first pop artist.
