I remember watching the conservation of this wonderful piece on a different channel few years ago, and every time I look at it, it fascinates me. The way you people make these videos and the amount of effort you put deserves more than just a good comment. Thank you one again M.E.T.
Putting a Durer print in any liquid must have been nerve racking. I was thinking "NO!", while seeing you do this.
Amazing
So is this ANOTHER print of the arch? Separate from the one at the British museum? Because that one was in one piece and hanging. So I'm guessing that this is a second print.
Yes! They are different prints.
@@metmuseum That is awesome
Can I know if you have the self portrait by Durer??
very useful
You need to make digital copies of those drawings and release them.
This entire thing has been reproduced in books.
Doesn't humidity actually ruin paper?
Stop touching this near priceless artifact with YOUR BARE HANDS.
Makes a lot of sense not using gloves
I love these episodes - but I wonder why someone who studies Dürer's work so deeply cannot even pronounce his name correctly.
What is "correct". I see this blasted idea in my country too. Everyone doesn't need to know everything. She's good at her work. Can you do her work "correctly"? Didnt think so.
@@shreyasshankar4109 it's a mark of respect, to actually put some semblance of effort into pronouncing someone's name. not even trying isn't respecting someone. she could likely pronounce machiavelli and schwartzanegger and tchaikovsky. if you can figure out how to say that, you can figure out how to say another name. no matter how familiar the culture or language is to you. it is basic decency to at least try, and care enough to. stop being xenophobic and dismissive of other cultures and people who belong to them.
