The hipster spirit of Albrecht Dürer (in a funny way)

Albrecht Dürer… one of the best painters in the world. Born in Nuremberg in 1471, he was the true master of German Renaissance. His paintings were so fluid, his technique so good, his hand so steady… A true genius and talent! And he knew it! He painted a lot of selfportraits and you can see right from the beginning his confidence (Despite his confidence, he was not arrogant. He just knew he was really talented.)

He created oil paintings, watercolor paintings, drawings and engravings.

This is one of the most famous drawings, called Praying Hands. It is simple, clean, yet you can feel the pulsation of life through the veins and the ardor of praying.

Here you can see a famous water color painting: The Rabbit.

And, because he was so cool and chill and didn’t make a fuss about his talent, he just painted and painted, so sure about himself, the 21 Century art lovers thought to make a little bit of fun of him by creating this hipster photo-manipulations on his own self-portraits:

Well, this is Durer, in 1500, totally modern with the hipster sunglasses.

And in the picture below, his most famous self portrait, yet again, “hipsterised” with a selfie:

Well, considering he was part of the Renaissance, we could say he made paintings before it was cool… 🙂
