The attached picture is not a print of the original copper plate
made by #AlbrechtDürer himself in 1514.

Instead it seems to be a print of a copy plate made by
Jan Wierix (1549 – c. 1620) in 1602.

One observable difference is the empty space between a an i in the text 'Melencolia i'.

Compare it e.g. with

Interesting question: Why did Wierix omit the original filler in this very significant position?

"Self-Portrait with Fur-Trimmed Robe," Albrecht Dürer, 1500.

Dürer (1471-1528) was one of the greatest and most innovative artists of the Renaissance. A native of Nuremberg, he became a confidante of a number of Italian artists of the era and introduced some of their elements, such as nudes and classical themes, while mixing it with secularism of German intellectuals.

Here we have one of his self-portraits, painted when he was 28. In German society, that was considered the age when one moved from youth to adulthood; the fact that it was 1500, the turn of a millennium, is not insignificant either. Here he does something not done in Northern European painting of the time...it's a portrait with no background, and with the subject facing the viewer, something normally only done with paintings of Jesus or other religious figures.

The Jesus comparison doesn't stop there...he's obviously making himself look like the savior, and the hand holding the robe is very similar to the usual stance of Christ giving a blessing. Whether this is a work of arrogance or blasphemy is still debated today.

From the Alte Pinakothek, Munich.
