b.May 21, 1471, Imperial Free City of Nernberg [Germany]
d.April 6, 1528, Nernberg
Albrecht Durer (May 21, 1471 ?C April 6, 1528) was a German painter, printmaker and theorist from Nuremberg. His still-famous works include the Apocalypse woodcuts, Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513), Saint Jerome in his Study (1514) and Melencolia I (1514), which has been the subject of extensive analysis and interpretation. His watercolours mark him as one of the first European landscape artists, while his ambitious woodcuts revolutionized the potential of that medium. D??rer introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, have secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatise which involve principles of mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions.
His prints established his reputation across Europe when he was still in his twenties, and he has been conventionally regarded as the greatest artist of the Renaissance in Northern Europe ever since. |

307 x 221 mm Staatliche Museen, Berlin The late date is justified by the simplified and strictly planar representation. Depth of field is not lacking, but occurs only in a regular succession of planes, The drawing also has interest for historians of architecture: an arcade with columns that have an intermediate entablature above their capitals. The connection between this and the transverse column pairs in the side aisle (which breaks down into isolated bays) is unclear. The geminate altarpiece is in pure (North Italian) Renaissance style.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Mass Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study |
