TOPIC THREE: RHINOCEROS, PART TWO (ASSIGNMENT #1: CREATURE/OTHER)

I personally like the woodcut by Albrecht Dürer a slight more due to how he made the rhinoceros look majestic. Albrecht Dürer made the rhinoceros coat almost seem like armor. Where as Hans Burgkmair seemed to have taken a more realistic approach which i do admire , however i find the woodcut Albrecht Dürer far more interesting. Dürer really made the rhinoceros look more than it is, almost like a majestic creature that is so uncommonly seen. I feel like Dürer slightly exaggerated the rhinoceros due to the fact that it was the first rhinoceros in europe and it was such a new animal to see in person , and this probably made him want to emphasize certain aspects of the animal.
