Albrecht Durer’s famous engravings and woodcuts overflow with objects that come from Nuremberg’s world of trade, manufacture and design. From armour to weaponry, books to tableware, hourglasses to compasses, the ‘real’ world of objects was depicted by Durer with an almost hallucinatory precision. Durer’s extraordinarily skilful prints reflect his own fascination with these objects, which he then made available to buyers of his prints. In turn, these prints have become treasures of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century collections in modern cities like Melbourne.
