Hi Luis,

It is sad that you won't be posting for a while, you will be sorely missed.

It is hard to describe the feelings I have when I look at his works. It's hard to believe his ability to show so much emotion in water color. His portraits are magnificent especially his self portraits. And the details in his engravings are endless.

Thank you so much for sharing these works of art with us.

All the best & Shalom,

Peter

Hi Luis,

Thank you for all your work, I hope someday you'll be back with a lot more!  I really like the painting "Feast of the Rose Garland", I also remember seeing the self-portrait of Durer before, thank you for featuring him.  Art is greatness, the artists themselves may not realize that not everyone can create beauty with paint or sculptures or drawings and engravings.  Their gifts are unique and the rest of us are just left in awe and admiration.  I say that because my son is very good at drawing and he doesn't believe me when I say I can't make a perfect circle with a pencil!  The artists don't recognize their own greatness sometimes.  They think we can all just pick it up and be great, I wish that could happen!  Thank you VERY much and hope to see you back here in the future with more!

Hi Luis,

What a wonderful Forum.

I have really enjoyedthis series and am sad that youwon't be doing more.

I learnt a lot about Durer that I had no idea about.

I have not seen his watercolours before, the Hare is stunning.

Dear Pauline,

Thank you so much for visiting, I am always happy to see you. Actually I feel honored by your presence here.  

Also, your comments are so wise and kind. When I first read about Martin Luther's words I figured myself at Durer's funeral. It was a very sad feeling.

Durer was indeed a great man. After a whole life producing masterworks he began to write some treatises on perspective, proportions, etc, in the manner of Leonardo, whom he admired. This he did despite of the fact that he was leaving several large paintings unfinished as he felt it was his duty to teach for the posterity. 

Such is the mark of a great man.

Best Wishes,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo
