Michael Canney Rhinoceros Etching Signed Dated 1947 Aft Durer's 1515 Woodcut
About the Item
Michael Canney (British : 1923-1999) Rhinoceros
Etching with aquatint and plate tone
1947, Signed and dated
Most likely originated from Canney’s wartime drawings when he served as draughtsman in the Royal Engineers in North Africa and influenced by Albrecht Durer's famous woodcut of 1515
From 1942 to 1947 Canney served as a draughtsman in the Royal Engineers in North Africa, Italy and Austria. He documented his wartime journeys with many drawings, most now lost. Italian art and architecture were a revelation, and encouraged a lifelong affection for the country and its people.
In 1947 Canney was studying illustration under Betty Swanwick at Goldsmiths’ College School of Art in London. This work is influenced by Albrecht Durer's famous woodcut of 1515. The animal in Dürer's print was a gift from an Indian sultan to King Manuel of Portugal and was the first to have been seen in Europe for nearly 1500 years. The King donated the rhino to Pope Leo X but the beast died en route to Italy. Durer never saw a rhino and based his famous print upon a sketch and a descriptive letter.

The encroaching sea eventually got so close that the lighthouse had to go. Rather than simply let it fall into the sea, in July 2020 the entire building began to be carefully dismantled so as not to have any impact on the surrounding sensitive environment. The Orford Ness Lighthouse Trust plan at that time was to remove the lantern room as well as other original features and artefacts with a view to one day creating a lighthouse memorial of some sort on the other side of the Ness, facing Orford town’s quay.

ORFORD NESS
Orford Ness is an internationally important site for nature conservation and a designated National Nature Reserve. It is a rare and delicate landscape, consisting of shingle ridges and valleys, deposited over centuries by the sea. 20% of Europe's vegetated shingle is found on Orford Ness.
Once a former World War One and World War Two Airfield, the land is now a rich grazing marsh, providing home to birds, deer and rare-breed sheep. It is one of the few sites in the UK with purpose-built facilities for the testing of components of nuclear weapons. Comprising of six 'labs', which now form impressive backdrops on the shingle and the Black Beacon erected in 1928 to house an experimental rotating-loop navigation beacon.
