Albrecht D\u00fcrer is the most important German Renaissance artist. He had a keen interest in the unknown and traveled a great deal, including to Italy and the Netherlands. Following the cruel conquest of the Aztec Empire by H\u00e9rnan Cort\u00e9s in 1519, the Spanish received numerous gifts from the last Aztec ruler, Moctezuma II. These were sent to Europe to Em\u001f\u001fperor Charles V and were exhibited in numerous cities. D\u00fcrer had the opportunity to see the Aztec objects in Brussels, and wrote in detail about this encounter with the unknown in his diary.<\/p>\n
