Painting Description
''Young Hare I'' is a watercolor and bodycolor painting by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, dated 1502. Considered one of Dürer's most celebrated and masterful works, the painting is renowned for its exceptional detail and realism. The subject of the work is a European hare, depicted with meticulous attention to its fur, texture, and natural posture, which has been admired for its lifelike presence and the artist's skill in capturing the essence of the creature.
The painting is a prime example of Dürer's extensive studies of nature and animals, and it reflects his keen interest in the natural sciences and the principles of observation. ''Young Hare I'' is often regarded as a high point in the tradition of animal painting in the history of art, and it has been influential in the development of this genre.
Measuring 25.1 cm × 22.6 cm (9.9 in × 8.9 in), the painting is executed on a piece of paper that Dürer treated with multiple layers of translucent and opaque watercolors to achieve both the fine gradations of tone and the rich texture that characterizes the work. The hare's pose is natural and uncontrived, with the animal seemingly at rest, yet alert. This level of naturalism was unprecedented for its time and showcases Dürer's observational skills and his ability to translate those observations into a compelling work of art.
''Young Hare I'' is housed in the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria, where it is considered one of the highlights of the museum's collection. Due to its delicate nature and the potential for light damage, the painting is displayed only occasionally. The artwork's popularity has made it an iconic image, and it has been reproduced and referenced in various cultural contexts. The painting's precise date, 1502, is known because Dürer typically inscribed his works with a monogram and date, providing a clear record of his artistic output during his career.
