Real or Memorex?




Is the Veil held by the Capuchins (the 2nd Shroud) really an Albrecht Durer?
You can google his self-portrait and there are uncanny similaries- He lived around 1500 and painted a number of Christ images. But where did he get that fine mollusk fabric? Was it still around in the middle ages? And how come no one can trace the paint? He was also a printmaker. Is this some medieval ink on a fabric? http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/durer/


Durer painted on linen.
