Dürer wasn’t just an artist.

He was a system.

In a world where art was still tied to workshops and tradition,

he introduced something radical—

control.

Here's St Catherine, second from left in a Gerard David painting from around 1510 in London's National Gallery. The two figures to the right of the Virgin and Child are St Barbara and St Mary Magdalene. The man on the left is the donor.

The Christ Child is putting a ring on St Catherine's finger to represent their Mystic Marriage.

There's so much more to this picture, but I'll confine myself to saying I love it.

Pietà -- Probably by the workshop of Rogier van der Weyden -- c.1465 -- National Gallery, London

This picture is not on display at the moment, but I remember seeing it decades ago and its lodging in my memory as an image of late medieval devotion.

In the grand scheme of art history, this particular painting is not of great significance, yet its place in my memory shows how even a minor work can play a major role in the development of an individual's understanding and sensibilities.
