A new rhino

I always thought that Dürer’s portrait of a rhino was an example of an artist who tried to draw an animal that he had never seen. Dürer didn’t actually see a rhino, but his drawing was far more accurate than I thought – it was just a different kind of rhino. Dürer drew a Sumatran rhino which is far more plated than the African varieties I know so well. Yesterday I say my first Asian rhino in Berlin Zoo, and this is my hommage to Dürer!
