Description

Albrecht Dürer was a master artist whose virtuoso woodcuts and engravings earned him fame across Europe during his lifetime. However, he also produced an impressive range of works in other media, including painting, watercolour, and drawing. This major new monograph by Jeffrey Chipps Smith explores the myths that have shaped Dürer's legend, examining his life and career within a tumultuous period of European history. The book delves into the creative process behind some of Dürer's most notable works, uncovering their meanings and ideas in detail. By tracing Dürer's formative years in Nuremberg and his travels across Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, Smith provides fresh insights into this complex artist's professional activity. The result is a vivid picture of an artist who was both prolific and psychologically nuanced.
