Invited lecture to accompany the Double Vision—Mapping Dürer in a Time of Crisis: Raymond Arnold and Ian Westacott, from 27 July to 27 October 2024.

This talk will consider the astonishing proliferation of measurement devices in Albrecht Dürer's famous print work Melencolia I. What does thinking about the making, meaning, and use of these objects in renaissance Nuremberg reveal about Dürer's landmark engraving?
