Durer's Self Portrait

Albrecht Durer created his Self Portrait in 1500. It was created during the High Renaissance in Northern Europe; he used oil on wood to create the painting. What I liked about this painting is how majestic Durer portrait himself to be. He appears to be confident, self assured, and knowledgeable. This painting is known to be similar to medieval Christ-like portraits (as can be seen with his shoulder length hair, for example). The writing on the painting shows that he was 28 at the time.
