Vintage Rhino Durer's Rhinoceros Antique Throw Pillow

Vintage Rhinoceros - Albrecht Durer created the first woodcut of this mysterious rhino in 1515. This particular version was created by a later artist, Hieronymus Bock. Durer based the vintage rhino image on a written description and quick sketch from another early unknown artist, and never really saw the live rhino. This was the first example of a Rhino drawing in Europe since Roman times. This vintage Rhino woodcut is wonderfully inaccurate; the hard plates resemble real armor, with a breastplate, rivets, and gorget that kind of look like a human knight's armor. The rhinoceros woodcut was copied by many other artists through the ages, and these inaccuracies were repeated through three centuries.
