From LinkedCulture
A lone scholar crouches inside a dark rocky hollow, completely lost in his reading, while a lion rests quietly at his feet. This is Albrecht Dürer's 1512 woodcut of Saint Jerome, and behind the cave a calm harbor opens up with sailing boats and a distant town. Dürer carved soft clouds, rough stone, animal fur, and open water all with the same tool, and the result shows exactly why his woodcuts were studied and copied across Europe for generations.
