Thumbelina in the style of Albrecht Dürer

We have reinterpreted the legacy of the great Albrecht Dürer—his engravings, portraits, and drawings—and created illustrations for the fairy tale Thumbelina based on them. Albrecht Dürer is celebrated as one of the greatest painters of the Renaissance. He elevated the art of engraving to unprecedented heights by inventing a complex technique for cutting images into copper or wood—engraving—and also introduced the genre of self-portrait. He painted his first self-portrait at the age of 13! Surely, Dürer heard from his mother in childhood the tale of another gifted and clever child—Thumbelina. Compare the images from the book with the originals of the great master’s works, search for common details and catch the differences, discuss the color palette and the features of the era. You don't need to be an art historian; just get captivated by the fairy tale and illustrations. At the end of the book, you can read about the main stages of the artist's creative development and discover interesting facts about him. Here, we have also included reproductions of the original works that inspired our illustrator. Also, point your camera at the QR code and visit our free virtual VoiceBook Museum.
