Albrecht Dürer
(Nuremberg, 1471 - Nuremberg, 1528) is one of those artists hardly ascribable
to a style because they possess that aura of genius that leads them to have
their expressive language the memory of past centuries and the mirage of future
works. Dürer was a prophet in the literary sense of the term: he tells us
stories and events not yet lived. At the Magnani Rocca Foundation located in
Mamiano di Traversetolo (Parma) one of the most seducing engravings he has made
entitled Melencolia I is conserved. It is only 16.8 cm wide and 23.9 high,
although small, it has a very complex universe of symbols, references, real and
unreal creatures, work tools, glimpses of light and depths of shadow. It's
almost a puzzle, an enigma just waiting to be solved
