Can you read a painting?

Here is the Martyrdom of the Ten Thousand (1808) by Albrecht Durer. I'll be back in the next post to help you "read" this painting: to learn what was important at the time it was painted & what significance, if any, it might have for us today.

Food for thought ~ "Why are lemons such a common feature of Renaissance still lifes?" no pun intended...heh
