Also, the talk about Dürer has reminded me I wanted to do this: have some Dürer icons, the first two of which featuring sketches he made of two people of African origin, in 1508 and 1521 respectively, more about this here. We know the name of the woman - she was Katharina, 20 years old servant of Portueguese representative João Brandão, at whose house Dürer was staying when travelling to Antwerpes. The next icon is of Dürer himself, his most famous self portrait, the original of which is just fifteen minutes away from where I live here in Munich. Then there's Jakob Fugger, the most influentual merchant of his time (and his time included the Medici), and an intimate sketch Dürer made of his wife, which is why it's titled "Mein Agnes".
Anyone who wants to use these, feel free, just credit me.
