Topic 3: The Rhinoceros
4. Out of the two works i prefer that of Hans Burgkmair. I find Burgkmair's woodcut to be more appealing to me personally because i find it to be a more accurate rendering of the one horned rhinoceros.
7. I find Durer's depiction of the Rhinoceros to be the most amusing due to the fact that such an inaccurate drawing was used as a reference for years simply because people did not know what rhinos looked like. The fact that it was so difficult for people to find more references of this creature shows how limited information was back then, and reinforces how lucky we are to have such easy access to everything.
