Spectacle case with cloth Owl Albrecht Dürer's close look at the animal world: Dürer is one of the most important and versatile artists of the period of transition from the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance in Germany. His animal drawings in particular point to the view of nature, undistorted by mythology and superstition, that became so characteristic of the Renaissance - they can hardly be surpassed in accuracy of observation and execution of drawing.
