The Desperate Man 1515

"The Desperate Man" is a 1515 woodcut by the influential German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. The image depicts a man in despair, his body contorted and his face obscured, surrounded by a group of figures who seem to represent various aspects of his torment. The scene's chaotic composition and intense detail are characteristic of Dürer's work, which explored both human emotion and the complexities of the natural world.
