Coming back to Durer - being his fun I read almost everything what he personally wrote. He wrote a diary from his journey to Ghent and Antwerp. There is an interesting remark of horses. when he with some friends had use them to came back on bare horseback -what surprised me a bit - he couldn't be too much experienced in horse riding- lived in a town:<br /><i>"...From there we started early on Tuesday for Bommel on the Maas; there a great storm of wind overtook us and we hired some peasant horses and rode without saddles as far as Herzogenbusch, and I paid 1 florin for the journey by boat and horse."</i><br />and one more: <i>"(December 3-14, 1520) On St. Barbara's Eve I traveled from Antwerp to Bergen-op- Zoom; I paid 2 stivers for the horse..."</i><br />Well, old materials are giving a lot very interesting pieces of information;-))Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804619301232871751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466337662455429678.post-46017414263689405032016-02-20T08:50:03.714-07:002016-02-20T08:50:03.714-07:00Thanks again - well it was really a typo 'type...Thanks again - well it was really a typo 'type of mistake, but then true it is a spelling one, I have to admit that I do make them in addition to a fact that I use various browsers in my Linux computers and my spell-checkers seem to work strangely sometimes. <br />But I should have said that this was a painting by Jan, not Peter.. [both with a nickname 'the elder'] http://www.arthermitage.org/I-Jan-Brueghel/Adoration-of-the-Magi.html<br /><br />What do you mean about having Durer's works? In terms of horse art or religious representations etc.. I am not sure about the question - can you be more specific? <br />as per Durerm I admire his work, from drawings to watercolor, and love his woodcuts... we get to Albrecht one day soon Dario T.

I am not sure of the XVI century this engraves. I dare to say it was a later work, but about this I am not sure. Do you have some Albrecht Durer's works?
