DÜRER, Albrecht: Schoolmaster

🖼 Schoolmaster, 1510
Woodcut
London, United Kingdom

Soft light illuminates a bearded scholar surrounded by teaching tools and books, rendered in precise Northern Renaissance detail. Dürer captures the dignity of intellectual labor, establishing the schoolmaster as a figure of social importance during the Renaissance elevation of learning.
