Willow Mill 1498

"Willow Mill", a watercolor by Albrecht Dürer, is a masterful depiction of a picturesque landscape, likely inspired by the artist's travels through the German countryside. The 1498 painting depicts a watermill, its wooden structure partially obscured by a willow tree, nestled along a winding river. A bridge connects the mill to a nearby village, with the buildings silhouetted against a vibrant, cloudy sunset, capturing the natural beauty and idyllic serenity of a rural scene.
