About this audio guide
This guide to the Albrecht Dürer House in Nuremberg follows one artist and one animal in fifteen fifteen, when word of a living rhinoceros in Lisbon travelled north to the workshop where Dürer lived and worked. It touches on a Portuguese king, a staged contest with an elephant, and an old Roman belief about the two beasts. Listen from the re-created workshop, where printmaking is still demonstrated.
