DÜRER, Albrecht: Antwerp Harbour

🖼 Antwerp Harbour, 1520
Pen drawing
213 × 283 cm
Vienna, Austria

Bustling waterfront activity fills this detailed view, with ships, merchants, and architecture rendered in precise Northern Renaissance technique. Dürer's 1520 harbor study documents Antwerp's commercial prominence and reveals the artist's keen observation of urban life during his Netherlandish travels.
