I've heard the story behind this painting. It's Albert Durer's(Albrecht's brother) hand. He worked as a blacksmith in order to support Albrecht's dream of becoming a painter, giving up his dream of becoming one too. It's a very touching story of sacrifice and love. The painting tells a lot too. I love it.

I like this painting.
My mother has one just like it in her dining room above the table. I never knew the artist that created this.
It's nice to know.
I reallty adore this painting.
