Color photograph, multiple exposure, self-portrait in black and red-orange nuances, unsharp. A naked person lies on their stomach, only the torso in back view and a long braid of hair are visible. A hand holds the braid in one of the superimposed poses. Additionally combined with an ICM photo, which creates red-orange stripes, and with a black-and-white photo of a large root network of an ivy plant, which adds structure.

"Self-Portrait with Fur-Trimmed Robe," Albrecht Dürer, 1500.

Dürer (1471-1528) was one of the greatest and most innovative artists of the Renaissance. A native of Nuremberg, he became a confidante of a number of Italian artists of the era and introduced some of their elements, such as nudes and classical themes, while mixing it with secularism of German intellectuals.

Here we have one of his self-portraits, painted when he was 28. In German society, that was considered the age when one moved from youth to adulthood; the fact that it was 1500, the turn of a millennium, is not insignificant either. Here he does something not done in Northern European painting of the time...it's a portrait with no background, and with the subject facing the viewer, something normally only done with paintings of Jesus or other religious figures.

The Jesus comparison doesn't stop there...he's obviously making himself look like the savior, and the hand holding the robe is very similar to the usual stance of Christ giving a blessing. Whether this is a work of arrogance or blasphemy is still debated today.

From the Alte Pinakothek, Munich.

A Renaissance-era portrait. A man sits in a brown, fur-trimmed robe with stylish slashed sleeves; he holds it closed with his right hand. He looks straight ahead at us. He has a long face, long brown curled hair, and a short beard; in many ways, he resembles conventional depictions of Jesus.

normalicemos saber que hay decisiones correctas que nos van a romper el corazón, que hacer las cosas bien requiere muchísima más valentía que hacerlas mal, que empezar de cero da pánico, que da miedo arriesgarnos pero siempre, ser valiente.

es erfordert viel mehr mut, dinge richtig zu machen, als sie falsch zu machen.

Color photograph, landscape format. Self-portrait, only the blurred eyes are, overlaid with an ICM photo in dark blue/green tones and the larger-than-life hairy legs of a tarantula protruding into the frame from the right. Overall impression: threatening, eerie, perhaps frightening. But with inner determination.
