But once absorbed in the study of that Life, once under the spell of Mr. Gilbert, who...

Excerpt from Albrecht Dürer The work of Albrecht Dürer stands alone at least in one particular that, while it has challenged the admiration, it has baffled the curiosity, of centuries, and still excites speculation.

One to whom the world listens - the great Goethe - has said: I honour daily more and more the work ...
