Framedl 2026-07-18 1/6* Dürer's 'Rhinoceros,' 1515 With plate armor, riveted scales, an extra horn on the shoulder that no such animal has ever had. He never saw one; he worked from a letter and a sketch. It stayed the definitive European image for 300 years, printed in textbooks long after real ones had been seen. A mirthful thing: the confident secondhand fantasy outlasting the animal itself. Hints: hope you are feeling better @frdysk 😄 @sub
