D\u00fcrer\u2019s book provided instructions for how to measure different parts of the body. First published in German in 1528, the book became very popular and was published in five languages and issued in more than 15 different editions throughout the century.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Begin by showing the students this image from the first German edition of D\u00fcrer\u2019s book on proportion (1528). Then have the students discuss the following questions:\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What do you see on this page? Who is represented? Why do you think they are depicted in this way?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How are these heads represented on the page?

The use of profiles allows for the study of the distinct features of the figures and makes it easy to measure and compare noses in particular.\u202f Students might recognize that the profile is used in mug shots and that this form of representation was later used in racial profiling beginning in the twentieth century and continuing today to catalogue different facial types.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Compare Two Images<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Later French Edition of D\u00fcrer&#8217;s <em>Four Books on Human Proportion<\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask students to compare and contrast the page from the German (1528) edition and the pages from the French (1557) edition of D\u00fcrer\u2019s book.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-995f960e wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/collections.newberry.org\/asset-management\/2KXJ8ZSK5D1_O?WS=AssetManagement\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"737\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ord_wing_z_4035_2459_no_03_sig_niv_001-737x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Page of book with diagrams of six human heads in profile.

What can this study tell us? &nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students can also engage with <a href=\"https:\/\/digital.newberry.org\/rb4r\/germany\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this interactive site<\/a> that explores the French edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Takeaways<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Page layout can transform one\u2019s experience with a book. Examining different editions can help us understand how books were used and studied over time. Editions of books can also highlight the priorities or beliefs of whatever time period the book was reproduced in. These two editions make clear that these images remained important for artistic practice and for conceiving of the best way to represent diverse men.&nbsp; Also, note that there are stains on the pages of the French book that indicate that it was used by artists in the workshop. Looking closely at details and marks in books can also be revelatory about their meaning and use.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Compare Images and Text<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask students to read two sentences from the French translation of D\u00fcrer\u2019s book and to think about them in relation to the images on the page nearby.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Il n\u2019est rien si certain, que ceux qui ont la cognoissance de la difformit\u00e9, &amp; laidure, pourront facilement entendre ce qui leur est \u00e0 euiter en une entreprinse d\u2019un ouurage de bonne grace. Il est de vray necessaire que comme plu quelqu\u2019un fuira la diffromit\u00e9, de tant plus approchera il de la beaut\u00e9.\u202f<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Most certainly, those who know deformity and ugliness will easily understand what to avoid as they develop a graceful work. For, unavoidably, the more someone flees from deformity, the more they approach beauty.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then have the students discuss the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How does this passage relate to the images nearby?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>According to this passage, what is the role of the artist?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do you think D\u00fcrer is defining \u201cdeformity\u201d and \u201cbeauty\u201d in this context?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Takeaways<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The passage provides some of D\u00fcrer\u2019s ideas behind the making of these images by the artist. It indicates that the belief was that some faces are deformed and some are beautiful and that by studying the different types, the artist can himself understand or perhaps attain beauty. The passage obliquely comments on beauty standards of the sixteenth century and in doing so could be reinforcing ideas about race, inferring that certain people are more beautiful or better than others. Though D\u00fcrer does not express this explicitly in the text, these images (like other texts and images from this period in books) visually classify features (noses, mouths, foreheads) in a way that distinguishes race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optional Extension Activity<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uffizi.it\/en\/artworks\/adoration-of-the-magi-durer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"902\" src=\"https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/UffiziPainting-1024x902.jpg\" alt=\"Oil painting of the Magi attending Mary and baby Jesus in the manger.
