Albert Durer's house, Nuremberg, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Albert Durer's house, Nuremberg, 1864. '...we must hasten down the Durer Strasse, and make a reverent salaam before the house of Albrecht Durer. There it stands, little altered externally from what it was when he - painter, sculptor, and engraver - went in and out at its door. Time deals more gently with man's works than with man. He is not here, but the whole place bears the impress of his spirit. It may be fancy - it cannot be fact - but there seems to be a strange repose around the spot where the great and good have been born or have died...And who, knowing what the genius of Albert Durer was, could have selected for him a more appropriate home in life and death than Nuremberg, which he found full of the raw materials of art and left enriched with the choicest creations of his own almost unassisted genius?'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Albert Durer's house in Nuremberg, frozen in time in 1864. The image transports us back to a bygone era, where the great artist and engraver once walked through its doors. As we gaze upon this historic building, we can almost feel the presence of Durer himself lingering within its walls.
The quote accompanying the photograph eloquently describes the reverence and admiration felt towards this iconic location. The writer speaks of a "strange repose" that surrounds places where greatness was born or passed away, hinting at the profound impact Durer had on art and culture during his lifetime.
Nestled in Nuremberg, a city brimming with artistic inspiration, Durer found a home perfectly suited to his creative spirit. The half-timbered facade of his house exudes charm and character, reflecting the rich history of this medieval town.
As we admire this black-and-white snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by Albert Durer. His genius lives on not only in his masterful works but also in the very walls of his beloved home. This print is a testament to his lasting influence on art and serves as a poignant reminder of his remarkable talent and contribution to our cultural heritage.
