Selected Works by Albrecht Dürer

This month we’re featuring work by two queer Renaissance artists. In part I, we’re featuring the work of German engraver and woodcut artist Albrecht Dürer. Dürer is believed to have been bisexual or gay.

The first piece is a woodcut print entitled The Bath House completed in 1496. The others are engravings from a series from The Passion.

You can see the collection of public domain works at https://www.makingqueerhistory.com/making-queer-history-library.
