Albrecht Dürer – his monogram signature

answered over 11 years ago

German Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer was born May 21, 1471, in Nurnberg. In 1494 he traveled to Italy, where he remained until 1495. The trip had a strong effect on Durer; echoes of Italian art are apparent in most of his drawings, paintings, and graphics of the following decade. Italian influences were slower to take hold in his graphics than in his drawings and paintings. He died in 1528.

Albrecht Dürer (Duerer) – one of his most famous art works
is probably his “Betende Hände” (praying hands) – one can find them everywhere throughout Germany.

Looking closer at your picture, it seems that’s what you have [URL removed]
Dürer’s “Betende Hände” … I see the thumb… ;-)
