Praying Hands

“Praying Hands” was sketched with ink and pencil on blue paper by Albrecht Dürer in 1508, and the altarpiece was also known as the Heller Altar which was commissioned by Jakob Heller. The altarpiece was destroyed in a fire in 1729. The altarpiece was produced and it is located at The Albertina Museum in Albertina, Vienna in the country of Austria.

I do not have any artistic talents and I do not own any art pieces, but the “Praying Hands” art piece caught my eye.

Hi. My name is Agnes Anasogak. I am taking this class to get my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. I was encouraged by my late father to get a degree, but I didn’t go to college after high school. So now, I am working towards my college degree to make my Dad's dream come true. I am the mother of two boys. I love snowmobile racing, crocheting, camping, and subsistence harvesting Native food for the long winter.

  1. Great link to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. I hope you get a chance to visit there sometime. I hope your fall harvest is plentiful so you have plenty of healthy food for the winter.
