Albrecht Dürer. The wild Hare (‘Feldhase’), 1502 (Albertina, Vienna).



Watercolour and bodycolour on paper: 25.1 x 22.6 cm(!). A reflection of a window frame in the hare's eye is often cited as evidence for the theory that Dürer copied the hare from life in his workshop. The prominent monogram indicates that the artist considered it a work in its own right, rather than merely a study or sketch. To really appreciate this artwork, you will have to further explore its finer details.

Susannah Martin. Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe est fini, 2015 (artist’s portfolio).



Oil on canvas: 70 x 70 cm. Susannah Martin: “The history of the painted nude in landscape documents exactly this eternal longing. Setting aside for a moment, any erotic motivations, the nude has always also been a symbol for man in his purist form, his original form, his primordial form. Stripped of all social indicators; clothing, possessions , etc., he exists independent of identity in a time of pure being”.
