The Rhinoceros 1515 (detail) Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471–1528) Woodcut. Dürer never saw the rhinoceros himself. Instead the image is based on an anonymous written description and brief sketch of an Indian rhinoceros brought to Lisbon in 1515—the first living example seen in Europe since Roman times. https://www.clevelandart.org/art/1993.9
