Quarry 1496

Albrecht Durer's 1496 pen and ink drawing, "Quarry," showcases the artist's early exploration of landscape. The composition focuses on a dense, rocky terrain, likely inspired by the artist's travels in the Alps. Durer's meticulous detail and masterful use of line create a sense of depth and realism, emphasizing the ruggedness and beauty of the natural world. This drawing, housed in the Kunsthalle Bremen, is a testament to Durer's early skill and interest in the intricacies of nature.
