One painting of real importance in the work of Duerer remains to us from this period: the greatest of modern critics has described it and its effect on him in a way which would make any second attempt impertinent. I consider as invaluable Albrecht Duerer's portrait of himself painted in 1493, when he was in his twenty-second year.
It is not true to life, in the first place; and it is dishonouring to the man, in the second; for although, doubtless, there are men who are driven to destruction or heart-broken by even the follies of women, these men have not the stout hearts, the loyal spirits, the manly mould of Albrecht Dürer.
Major Albrecht, the head of the Free State-Artillery, was one of the bravest men in General Cronje's commando, and his display of courage at the battle of Magersfontein was not less extraordinary than that which he made later in the river bed at Paardeberg. At Magersfontein Albrecht and two of his artillerymen operated the cannon which were located behind schanzes twenty feet apart.
At last came a trustworthy report to the effect that a bloody defeat had overtaken the proud army of Albrecht. It was at Morgarten, where the noble hero called Arnold of Winkelried had opened up to his countrymen a pathway to freedom over his spearpierced body.
Given at Nuernberg on Wine-Tuesday before James'. ALBRECHT DUeRER. NUeRNBERG, August 26, 1509. First my willing service to you, dear Herr Jacob Heller. In accordance with your last letter I am sending the picture well packed and seen to in all needful points. I have handed it over to Hans Imhof and he has paid me another 100 florins.
Not long afterwards, in the year 1523, he executed a Christ with the twelve Apostles, in little figures, which was almost the last of his works. There may also be seen prints of many heads taken from life by him, such as that of Erasmus of Rotterdam, that of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, Elector of the Empire, and also his own.
Three mournful days the mother prays, And weeps the children's fate; The prince in vain has scoured the plain A sound is at the gate. The mother hears, her head she rears, She lifts her eager finger 'Rejoice, rejoice, 't is Albrecht's voice, Open! Oh, wherefore linger? See, cap in hand the woodman stand Mother, no more of weeping His hound well tried is at his side, Before him Albrecht leaping,
Van Reymerswael's The Tax Gatherers, sometimes called The Bankers or The Misers, hangs in the museum; that realistic picture with the so highly individualised heads, a favourite of the engravers, holds its own. Both the Boutses, Albrecht and Dirck, are shown in their Holy Families, and both are painters of ineffable grace and devotion. Four Memlings of seductive beauty light the walls.
We have three children, Albrecht, Bernhard and Annemarie. They came inside of three years, one very soon after the other, you see. My wife had a nervous tendency which these births brought to a crisis. After the very first child was born, she had an attack of profound melancholia. Her mother had to admit that Angèle had been subject to similar attacks from childhood up.
He did not seem to be hostile, and Wyllard, who tossed his rifle into the hollow of his left arm, moved out to meet him a pace or two. "You are Russian?" he said, in the language the other had used, for French of a kind is freely spoken in parts of Canada. The man laughed. "That afterwards," he answered. "It is said so. My name is Overweg Albrecht Overweg.
