Sculpture by whom? What influential work of art is it inspired by?Answer: This is Salvador Dali's Rinoceronte vestido con puntillas, inspired by Albrecht Durer's woodcut Rhinoceros. Durer's woodcut is remarkable because it was made despite him having never seen a rhino. Durer made the woodcut from rough sketches and descriptions of an animal sent to the Portuguese king Manuel I as a gift from India. Dali repeatedly uses rhinos in his works which, according to him, signify the themes of chastity and the Virgin Mary (don't ask me how). In his apperarence on the Tonight Show, he came with a leather rhinoceros and refused to sit on anything else!!! Raghu, Vetti, Srivats, Anshul, Arvind and Adi got it. Well done.
