Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of 16th century German painter, Albrecht Durer. At the time of his birth, the world was in a period of profound transformation. New trade routes and the invention of the printing press gave birth to new ideas, and the century saw great upheaval in religion and knowledge. Using his art, Durer contributed to these changes, reflecting the transition from the medieval world to modern times in his work. Through his innovations in woodcuts, copper engravings, and painting, Durer made his mark on art history. His extraordinary technical skill is evident in his precise line-work and detailed compositions. The author explores the cultural and intellectual influences on Durer's work, including the Renaissance and Reformation. He traces the artist's interest in perspective, proportion, and human anatomy, passions that inspired works like Melancholia and Knight, Death, and the Devil. Looking at Durer's life and paintings, the author reveals the motivations of one of the most influential figures of Western art.
