Albrecht Durer
Female Nude from Behind
1495 Brush drawing on paper, 32 x 21 cm Mus?e du Louvre, Paris This female nude seen from behind records D?rer's interest in human proportions during his first Italian journey. The attributes, staff and cloth, suggest that this freely drawn nude study was created from a model. The firmly sketched shape of her body forms a charming contrast with the glazed, freely swinging cloth. The head and cloth are executed with gentle brushstrokes and clearly show a spatially plastic relationship between the figure and pictorial space.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Female Nude from Behind Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study

Laughing Peasant Woman
1505 Pen, 390 x 270 mm British Museum, London The legend reads: "una Villana vindisch" (a peasant woman in the Veneto). This shows the delicate short strokes of the time of The Life of the Virgin, still without more rigorous economy: a flow of little dashes, crossed here and there by patches of straight lines that extend beyond the outlines of the forms; a chiaroscuro effect. The transitory moment of the drawing back of the lips and the blinking of the eyes is captured and retained.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Laughing Peasant Woman Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait

Rhinoceros
1515 Pen drawing, 274 x 420 mm British Museum, London In 1515 the first rhinoceros appeared in Portugal, a gift of Sultan Muzafar of Kamboja in India to King Emanuel I. Although he had not seen the animal with his own eyes, D?rer produced a drawing and a woodcut based on the sketch and description in a letter from a Nuremberg citizen who lived in Lisbon, Valentin Ferdinand, to a merchant who was a friend of D?rer's. The woodcut was also used to make a leaflet which D?rer sold at markets. The rhinoceros is standing in the foreground of the picture, filling its entire format. The detailed depiction of his armor and skin accords with the wording in the inscription below.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Rhinoceros Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : other

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. |
