Dürer's drawing of the dead Jesus with his head tilted back is considered by some to be a self-portrait. It is said that in the "age of Christ" or so Dürer became very ill and was at death's door. For several days he was shaking with fever, Dürer lay exhausted, with dry lips and sunken eyes. At that moment everyone thought that the devout artist would send for a priest. But he demanded to see a small mirror, put it on his chest and, barely finding the strength to lift his head, for a long time he stared at his reflection. When Dürer recovered, he used what he saw to make this drawing.
