From the Paper:
"Albrecht Durer's Religious ArtAlbrecht Durer, a German Renaissance artist, has been likened to Leonardo da Vinci because of his search into man's physical and psychological being. He was interested in what was called "humors" or the temperament of people and has been termed the first true humanist of the North (Snyder 316). The word "humor" referred to the fluids in the body, and in the fifteenth century there were said to be four. The two secreted by the liver were gall and bile which caused despair and greed. Melancholia was also said to be the result of the humors of the liver. Phlegm, created in the lungs, was said to cause apathy, gluttony, and sloth. The sanguine humor was the product of overly active blood circulation, provoking vices of lust or lechery."
