Wundertier Nashorn, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nürnberg
Exhibition of some pieces of the Monson-Baumgart Collection of Rhino Prints
The studio exhibition presents images of the rhinoceros on paper from three centuries. This period saw the transformation from a creature of the imagination to a realistically-depicted animal. In 1500, almost no-one in Europe had ever actually seen a rhinoceros, and the legendary creature was associated with myth and many stories. It was considered wild, dangerous and the elephant’s natural enemy, but also exotically fascinating, testimony to an unknown world.
