Drawing on Hoare’s experience of the natural world, and of the elements that shape our contemporary lives, from suburbia to the wide open sea, Hoare enters 15th century artist Albert Dürer's time machine.

What The Reviewers Say

Laura Cumming,
The Guardian (UK)
... magnificent.
John Williams,
The New York Times Book Review
Hoare writes with the license of the nonexpert; you can feel the delight he takes in being unbound by anything but his enthusiasms. He is alternately precise and concealing. His biographical sections are both elliptical and redolent of entire lives. His art criticism is often stirring.
Charles Arrowsmith,
The Washington Post
... dreamy.
Horatio Clare,
The Spectator (UK)
An antic and original creation, it is not exactly a biography of the revolutionary Renaissance printmaker, painter and theorist of geometry and perspective.
