Join Ben & Pia on an incredible journey into the workshop of Albrecht Dürer, the goldsmith's son who turned wood and copper into prints that traveled across Europe!
This episode mixes brave journeys, clever inventions, and tiny details that look almost real. Perfect for curious minds who love stories of art, travel, and clever thinking. Hear about daring trips over the Alps, secret marks that protected an artist's name, and a hare so lifelike people fell silent.
Historical Fun Fact: Dürer signed his works with the AD monogram, and Venetian authorities ruled others could copy his images but not his two letters — an early step toward protecting an artist's name!
Did you know? Dürer combined northern detail with Italian ideas of perspective and made prints that spread like news across markets and fairs.
