【Shocking Release!】The British Museum has gone crazy: A classic masterpiece from 500 years ago transforms into a silver sculpture, and it's been blockchain-enabled!

The legendary work 'Rhinoceros' by Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer has been reborn in an unprecedented way!

Recently, the British Museum partnered with Asprey Studio to create 11 pure silver sculptures from this imaginative piece created in 1515, and each one is permanently inscribed via the Bitcoin blockchain, ensuring its unique authenticity and provenance.

You heard it right: A 500-year-old artistic masterpiece has transcended time, engraved with a digital identity on the chain, becoming an artistic miracle that merges reality and the virtual.

What's astonishing is that when Dürer created 'Rhinoceros', he had never seen the real animal, completing the painting solely based on descriptions, showcasing extraordinary imagination. Today, this piece has transformed into a future heritage of the collection through intricate carving and blockchain technology.

Each silver sculpture not only features complex craftsmanship but also has a 'Father-Son Inscription' system that digitally records its history and origin. Buyers first receive a certificate on the chain, and the delivery of the sculpture will take several months.

Asprey Studio stated that this approach is not merely a hype for NFTs, but an exploration of new boundaries for art authentication and digital preservation. If Dürer were alive today, he might also be keen on expanding the boundaries of creation with technology.

In fact, the British Museum has long been unwilling to remain traditional, having made multiple attempts at art digitization, including issuing digital collectibles of classic art and constructing virtual art spaces.

This silver sculpture project is not just a playful reinterpretation of art, but more like a forward-looking experiment on 'How can art be eternal?'.
