  • English: Albrecht Dürer, The Death of Orpheus, pen and ink drawing, 1494 (Kunsthalle, Hamburg).

In this Albrecht Dürer’s 1494 drawing, the banner hung in the tree reads: Orfeus der erst puseran (“Orpheus, the first sodomite”). The word puseran(t) derives from the Italian buggerone, which in its turn derives from Latin bulgarus from which come also the terms bugger in English and bougre in French.

Though the drawing could be taken as a Northern European reaction to sodomy, it is actually based on an original, now lost, by the Italian master Andrea Mantegna.
  • Deutsch: Albrecht Dürer, Der Tod des Orpheus, Federzeichnung, 1494 (Kunsthalle Hamburg).
  • Français : Albrecht Dürer, La mort d'Orphée, pan and ink drawing, 1494 (Kunsthalle, Hambourg).
  • Italiano: Albrecht Dürer, La morte di Orfeo, schizzo ad inchiostro, 1494 (Kunsthalle, Amburgo).

Il cartiglio al di sopra della testa porta scritto: Orfeus der erst puseran ("Orfeo, il primo buggerone"). Buggerone è un termine medievale per "sodomita attivo": le baccanti stanno infatti punendo Orfeo per aver giurato di non amare più le donne dopo avere perso la sua amata Euridice, dandosi in alternativa ai ragazzi.

Benché il disegno possa essere preso come un esempio di reazione nordeuropea alla sodomia, di fatto si basa su un originale, oggi perduto, dell'artista italiano Andrea Mantegna.
