Description
Albrecht Durer's finest drawings are presented in this selection by renowned art historian Heinrich Wofflin. First published in Munich in 1914, this collection features 81 drawings that showcase the artist's growth and evolution over time. The drawings range from Durer's self-portrait at the age of 13 to his famous 'Head of Saint Mark', created just before his death in 1526. The selection includes both well-known works and lesser-known pieces, as well as sketches prepared for other artistic mediums, such as woodcuts. This Dover edition includes a revised statement on ownership of originals, bibliographical notes, Winkler numbers, and a new Foreword by Alfred Werner, art critic and lecturer.
