Asset Overview

Dürer's Rhinoceros is the name commonly given to a woodcut executed by German painter and printmaker Albrecht Dürer in 1515. The image was based on a written description and brief sketch by an unknown artist of an Indian rhinoceros that had arrived in Lisbon earlier that year. Dürer never saw the actual rhinoceros, which was the first living example seen in Europe since Roman times. Modeled, then sculpted, then baked in blender3d in anno domini 2015 ![](http://www.britishmuseum.org/images/ps090470_l.jpg)
