Öl auf LeinwandNürnberg, Kunstsammlung Neubauer Detailansicht mit Künstlersignatur1.943 / 5.000View from the north, taken by Dürer on his first Italian trip. To the left of the middle of the drawing is the scaffolded Saggenturm or coat of arms tower, which belonged to the Hofburg. According to the report of the Ferrara envoy Guido Manfredi from January 15, 1494, a fire had broken out in the ducal castle the day before, but skillful fighting meant that it could only spread to part of the castle. The other reference to the fire is an invoice entry from 1494 for one guilder, two pounds and six kreuzers for a coat that Oswald Zimmermann zu Ehrenberg lost in the kitchen when there was a fire in the Saggenturm. A fire had broken out in the chimney of a kitchen that was located in the immediate vicinity of the Saggentor tower, which spread to the Saggenturm and burned it down. In Dürer's drawing, the recently erected pointed helmet of the Saggenturm/coat of arms tower is secured by means of a rope tension. For the architecture in the background of his sheet "Pupila Augusta" (now in Windsor Castle), Dürer later used buildings from Innsbruck such as the west facade of the Jakobskirche, Stadtburg and Ottoburg as well as parts of his city view of Trento from the north (Kunsthalle Bremen), which he had also drawn on site during his trip to Italy in 1495. He also included the pentagonal tower and the Walburgis Chapel of the Nuremberg Burggrafenburg on the sheet. Dürer used this combination of different architectures in part in his "Feast of the Rosary" for the church of San Bartolomeo in Venice (now in the National Gallery in Prague) in 1506 and in the engraving of "St. Anthony in front of the city" dated 1519 (there reproduced in reverse due to the print).
