Oswalt Krel was the first Dürer's painted nobleman who was not born and raised in Nuremberg; here he represented a trading company from Ravensburg. This portrait belongs to a group of paintings that established the young graphic artist and illustrator as a portraitist, shortly before 1500. A rarity among Dürer's portraits, the person looks directly at the viewer.
Nuremberg for those who love walking around. I love to walk around the city and discover its stories, people, tastes, sounds, views. This walk takes a whole day and includes the most beautiful photo locations of the city. We will walk along the embankments of the Pegnitz River from the eastern to the western gates; we will be able to take beautiful photos near the Holy Spirit Hospital, the museum bridge, and the old meat market, the executioner's house, the chain bridge, and Maxbruck. We will leave the old city for a few minutes to enjoy the autumn park, enchanted by a crossbow shooter. We will visit the house of Albrecht Durer and find out the history of the most intriguing fake portrait in the history of humankind. We will have lunch at the oldest restaurant in the city and end our journey in the area of the red light district.
