From LinkedCulture
A demon pumps a bellows directly into a sleeping man's ear while a nude Venus stands waiting just in front of him, and Albrecht Dürer fit all of that into a single small engraving made around 1500. The man slumps against a tiled ceramic stove, an apple warming beside it, a putto struggling onto stilts and a loose sphere of Fate tumbling nearby. Every detail carries the same warning, that idleness opens the door to temptation. This print proves Dürer could give engraving the same moral weight as any painted altarpiece.
