Albrecht Dürer was born on 21 May (1471) and we have written of his work and life before, in “I Shall Freeze After the Sun” so let us gaze at his weird and wonderful works, such as the uncanny, post-modern Adoration of the Magi, and one of his strange, ambivalent self-portraits:

He didn’t stay long (who did then?) and now he lies here in Nuremburg:
