My favorite artist is Albrecht Durer. He was a german printer in the rennaisance. He also painted, but i love him for his print work, amazing--just absolutely amazing! My favorite painting is a self portrait, and in it he looks what is commented as Christ-like. Well if you watch Bram Stoker's Dracula, there is a scene towards the beginning in Vlad's Castle that there is a portrait up on the wall, a very good image of Gary Oldman in Albrecht's pose. My favorite prints are Melancholia I, The Four Horsemen, and St. Jerome in his Study. All were painstakenly cut prints out of metal or wood. All the detail, amazing.
