Gezicht op het geboortehuis van Albrecht Dürer te Neurenberg

From LinkedCulture

This 1816 etching captures Albrecht Dürer's birthplace in Nuremberg not as a frozen monument but as a busy corner of a living city. Johann Christoph Erhard drew the scene from life, showing the late-medieval timber-framed house with its steep pitched roof and arched stone doorways, while a cart loaded with goods and a pair of oxen fill the cobbled square below. The print matters because it records exactly how the building looked before it was formally preserved and turned into a museum dedicated to Dürer's memory.
