gloom pessimism			RC) Albrecht Dürer - Self-Portrait with a Fur Coat (1498), Apocalypse of St John woodcut series (1498), Self-Portrait with a Fur Coat (1500), Knight, Death and Devil (1513), Melencolia I (1514) The first time I saw a reproduction of Dürer's Self-Portrait with a Fur Coat, I thought it was a painting of Christ.
