We give thee thanks, O Lord, for the vision and skill of Albrecht Dürer, Matthias Grünewald and Lucas Cranach the Elder, whose artistic depictions helped the peoples of their age understand the full suffering and glory of thine incarnate Son; and we pray that their work may strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ and the mystery of the Holy Trinity; who livest and reignest, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Albrecht Dürer made this print of a ‘fast, lively and cunning’ rhino without ever seeing one! The German Renaissance artist was born #onthisday in 1471. pic.twitter.com/YJUJZQSRiS
