Dürer (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the life of Albert Dürer, celebrated German artist of the Renaissance era. Born into the family of a goldsmith, he studied under the painter Michael Wolgemuth and spent his Wanderjahre traveling Germany. In his mid-20s, Dürer married Agnes Frey, and established himself as an artist in Nuremberg. During his lifetime he was best known for his engravings, and his realistic style was a sharp departure from the stylized techniques of the medieval era. His paintings also broke with tradition, introducing recognizable German faces and landscapes into religious subjects. Dürer's work was highly sought after, and his fame spread across Europe. He was a friend of the humanist Willibald Pirkheimer and other leading intellectuals of the time, whose influence helped to shape the humanist elements in his work. Dürer's lasting contributions to Northern Renaissance art and wider artistic theory make him one of the most important figures of the era.
