Comparing woodcuts - Albrecht Dürer & Hans Burgkmair.
I believe that both Hans' Burgkmair and Albrecht's Dürer woodcuts were very well done and they are quite similar to each other, but I prefer Dürer's woodcut more. The rhino made by Dürer has more detail and it is not as dark as Burgkmair's so it is easier to see. The armor element gives it an enjoyable fantasy feel and it seems very illustrative to me which is a style I enjoy.Rhino depiction that I found amusing.
The rhino depiction by Francesco Granacci, detail from Joseph and His Brethren in Egypt, oil on wood, c.1517 (Uffizi Florence) I found to be the most amusing. This depiction is very different from the others and its anatomical form is unrealistic but I enjoy it because of its sort of fantasy and illustrative look.
