Nuremberg - burial place of Albrecht Durer and Veit Stoss, Johannisfriedhof

 

Nuremberg is a beautiful old medieval town, where we will not find traces of postwar destruction. This is the city of Durer, and his existence here is highlighted everywhere. Finally, this comes after Prague, the second imperial residence of famous emperor Karl IV, who is best known for his quest for alchemical gold.This city also has one monument that people rarely visit. It is:
- Johannisfriedhof - Old St. John's Cemetery.  

 

 

 It is one of the oldest cemeteries in the world. The first is in South America, the second is in Paris, and the third is the Johannisfriedhof in Nuremberg. It's a very old cemetery that dates back to medieval times, although burials were done here much earlier. Adam Kraft was buried here, as were two other world-famous cultural artists: Albrecht Dürer and Veit Stoss (who, contrary to popular opinion, was not a Pole but German )Tombstones never changed their style for centuries and are matched to the style of the first gravestones. The cemetery, which was founded around the 13th century, is used today as well . Only noble people of the city, such as artists, politicians, and noblemen, can be buried there.

 

People visit this place, especially for Durer and Stoss. Two artists who changed the face of art. One introduced the world to a renaissance. The other, with his contorted sculptures, inspired future mannerisms. The climate of this cemetery, however, is unique not only because of them, but in itself.

 

 

 

 

Albrecht Durer's grave*

*Albrecht Durer, if not for that man  and his rabbit, the people in the paintings to this day would be disproportionate, After studying and painting his rabbit, he began to reproduce the proportions of the body in the image as they are in reality. He discovered a novelty in art while traveling to Italy and wondered how it was accomplished. It was he who transferred this knowledge to other parts of Europe.
