<<Praying Hands>>
1508
by Albrecht Durer
This painting has a story, is about his friend and he. Before, he and his friend were active artists, but they were poor. So they decided to pay out together. They agreed one person will go studying and learning first, and the other person will work. Duerer said he wants to work first, but his friend said he was better then him so his fried worked first. After four years, he finished his studying. Now his friend will go studying, but his friend because of hands was having irritation, he can't paint anymore. One day, Duerer saw his friend was praying at God. So he painted this picture.
<<St. Jerome in his Study>>

In this painting, a man is sitting in a room like a laboratory. And there is a light on his head. A dog and a lion are sitting in front of the door, and a skull, a sandglass. All of the things are about the lost of the time, but there is no devil and it is very quiet. If the unrational behavior will make greedy. Then the people who studying hard, his soul will be redeemed. I like this painting because the man inside looks holly with th light, even he is quiet and not having very much vigor.

GREAT work David! This is one of the best blog posts you have ever, ever done! Good work. You expressed some cool stuff and did some real research. I like the first drawing a lot too. By the way, the second is not a painting but an engraving--carved and then stamped.
