Encounter the precision, imagination, and intellectual ambition of Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), the German Renaissance artist who transformed drawing and printmaking into forms of extraordinary expressive power. This pocket guide explores Dürer's life, travels, and artistic development, revealing what to look for in his meticulous observation of nature, penetrating portraits, symbolic imagery, mathematical interests, and masterful handling of line. Discover how his woodcuts and engravings circulated across Europe, establishing his international fame and expanding the possibilities of printed art. Biographical insights, memorable anecdotes, a personal portrait, and selected quotations reveal an artist deeply engaged with faith, humanism, science, and self-image. A close examination of one major work highlights the technical brilliance and layered meaning of his art. Featuring more than 65 full-color reproductions, this compact guide celebrates one of the most original and influential figures of the Northern Renaissance.
