Happy Birthday to Northern Renaissance painter and engraver Albrecht Dürer, who was born #onthisday in 1471.
In 'Melencolia I' (1514), Dürer pictured an allegory of the creative melancholy of the artist, and this engraving has often been interpreted as a symbolic self-portrait.
It's #InternationalMuseumDay so here's a quick sketch I did of one of my favourite pieces of art. Woman With a Purse (1974), sculpture by American Artist Duane Hanson. Can be found in the excellent @MuseumLudwig in Cologne, Germany.
