Philip Hoare explores why Albrecht Dürer's art and his way of looking at nature endure. Medieval alchemists, modernist poets, eccentric emperors and queer creators cross paths in a journey through art history and the sea, including the fantastic rhinoceros, the artist's hare and the leviathan he pursued.

For readers of art history, nature and biography, with an interest in the Renaissance and in the figure of Dürer.
