Bbc Podcasts: Episode 75: Durer's Rhinoceros 17 Sept 2010

Curated by ACT

Albrecht Durer's famous engraving of an Indian rhino. Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, tells the story of one of the most enduring objects in art history, and one of the most duplicated: Durer's image of a rhino - an animal which the artist had never seen. The rhino was brought to Portugal in 1514 and Neil uses this classic image to examine European ambitions at the time. (Duration: 15 mins)
