About the Three Bunnies
With Dürer’s characteristic attention to detail, in a heartwarming scene to welcome spring, one hare hops happily while a second cleans its paw and a third peeks out from behind its ear. The trio of hares symbolizes both the Holy Trinity and fertility. Unlike in his later Young Hare (1502), which is essentially a descendant of the three hares, Dürer’s focus here is not on lifelike representation but on a touch of interpersonal connection, as the middle hare places its paw on the shoulder of the one on the right in a manner that is as warm and gentle as spring itself. The hare does this while looking straight into our eyes, making it feel like the image we are looking at is looking back at us. This has the effect of transforming a mere tangle of lines into reality.
Albrecht Dürer the Younger was born on 21 May 1471 in Nuremberg and died there on 6 April 1528. The painter, graphic artist, mathematician and art theorist is considered one of the outstanding creative talents of the Renaissance. For half a millennium his reputation has remained intact and will no doubt continue to do so in the future. This is because Dürer conducted extensive studies on his subjects and their behavior, making every effort to delve as deeply as possible into life – just one of many reasons why his work touches people so deeply.
