Duerer's paintings


This painting is "Adoration of the Trinity", it was painted in 1511.

The Jesus is the center of this piece, and it shows more balance. The colors are harmonious, so I like it. There's some symbols in this painting. The pigeon is above the Father. It means "hope" and "peace", and there is some light around the pigeon. It can make that pigeon stands out.

Adoration of the Magi, in 1504~1505.

The man in the center is Duerer, he used his appearance to draw this man. The figures mix harmonically with the background. This is the characteristic of Duerer's art, he always use the color with balance. There are some exquisite arches in the piece, and it becomes a space. It also make the figures stand out. The perspective had used in this painting, so it shows Duerer's skills.

Great work! Very interesting how he used his own image often to be the face of famous saints from history. It shows what he wanted from life and art.
