Albrecht Durer Madonna and Child on a Stone Bench oil painting


Madonna and Child on a Stone Bench
Painting ID::  63604 		Artist: Albrecht Durer
Painting: Madonna and Child on a Stone Bench
Introduction: 1520 Pen drawing, 135 x 87 mm Pushkin Museum, Moscow This pen drawing is a preliminary study of the group of figures in an engraving, and while it shows the Madonna with her hair down, the babe in arms and folds of her garments are already very similarly depicted. The background landscape shown in the copper engraving is still omitted here.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Madonna and Child on a Stone Bench Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study
   
   
     

 

 

 
 

 

 

 
Albrecht Durer Christ Crowned with Thorns oil painting


Christ Crowned with Thorns
Painting ID::  63605 		Artist: Albrecht Durer
Painting: Christ Crowned with Thorns
Introduction: 1512 Engraving, 118 x 74 mm Art Museum, Princeton Sheet No. 7 of the Engraved Passion. Christ is shown in profile, yet quite differently from the woodcut versions of this subject. This is richer and more picturesque. Nevertheless, greater clarity is not quite achieved. The similarity of the spatial arrangement to the Flagellation can be observed. Pilate is seen in the background, standing next to Caiaphas. The bald bearded man is reminiscent of Italian model heads.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Christ Crowned with Thorns (No. 7) Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious
   
   
     

 

 

 
 

 

 

 
Albrecht Durer Walrus oil painting


Walrus
Painting ID::  63606 		Artist: Albrecht Durer
Painting: Walrus
Introduction: 1521 Pen drawing with watercolours, 206 x 315 mm British Museum, London Throughout his life, D?rer was interested in oddities of nature. The walrus has pushed the front half of his body into the picture and is looking at the observer with his peculiarly glassy gaze; this has led to the suggestion that D?rer created the study from a chopped off walrus head or stuffed animal, and completed the rest from his imagination. The study was to be used as a detail in the altar painting of an enthroned Madonna and Child surrounded by eight saints and angels playing instruments, but this work was never produced. At the top left D?rer wrote: "Das dozig thyr van dem ich do das hawbt conterfett hab, ist gefange worden in der niderlendischen see und was XII ellen brawendisch mit f?r f?ssen" (The animal which I have drawn this picture of was captured in the Dutch Sea and was twelve cubits in size with four feet).Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Walrus Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : other
   
   
     

 

 

 
 

 

 

 
Albrecht Durer Madonna Crowned by Two Angels oil painting


Madonna Crowned by Two Angels
Painting ID::  63607 		Artist: Albrecht Durer
Painting: Madonna Crowned by Two Angels
Introduction: 1518 Engraving, 148 x 100 mm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York This is one of only two engravings of the period between 1514 and 1519. The Virgin is crowned with a wreath of roses and is holding an apple. In spite of its admirable style, it lacks warmth compared to earlier versions. The background is no longer picturesque but rather dry in its reality. D?rer made use of a much older preparatory study, originally sketched for the Heller Altarpiece, for the drapery of this engraving.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Madonna Crowned by Two Angels Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious
   
   
     

 

 

 
 

 

 

 
Albrecht Durer Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg oil painting


Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg
Painting ID::  63608 		Artist: Albrecht Durer
Painting: Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg
Introduction: The Small Cardinal 1519 Engraving, 148 x 97 mm Staatliche Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe This engraving is one of six copper plate portraits of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, one of the most influential representatives of the empire. This portrait is based on a preparatory drawing which presumably dates from the time of D?rer's stay at Augsburg during the Imperial Diet of 1518. In a letter to Georg Spalatin, an adviser of Frederick the Wise, D?rer reports the circumstances: "I am enclosing three prints of an engraving for my gracious lord. It was engraved upon the request of my gracious lord of Mainz. I sent the copper plate to him together with two hundred impressions as a present. He then sent me most kindly two hundred gold guilders in return and twenty ells of damask for a coat." The plate was used subsequently to illustrate the book Das Heiligtum zu Sachsen, Halle, 1524. The portrayed man is placed before a screen. His erect posture, diagonal line of sight out of the picture, the coat of arms and the two inscriptions all emphasize the official nature of the portrait. The inscription above the portrait reads: "Albrecht by Divine Mercy Presbyter Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, Titular of St. Chrysogonus, Archbishop of Mainz and Magdeburg, Primate Elector of the Empire, Administrator of Halberstadt, Margrave of Brandenburg." The legend on the bottom states: "Thus were his eyes, his cheeks, his features at the age of 29." Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg was born on June 28, 1490. He became Archbishop of Magdeburg in 1513, Archbishop of Mainz in 1514 and Cardinal in 1518. In 1514 Jacob Fugger of the wealthy trading house of Augsburg had advanced 21,000 ducats to Albrecht in order to secure for him the Archbishopric of Mainz, which entailed the electorship. The Pope authorized the sale of indulgences to reimburse the Fuggers, provided one half of the proceeds was turned over to the Papal treasury. An agent of the Fuggers subsequently traveled in the Cardinal's retinue in charge of the cashbox. It was Albrecht who appointed the Dominican Tetzel and thus indirectly caused Luther to post his 95 theses on the church doors at Wittenberg:.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg; or, The Small Cardinal Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait

     b.May 21, 1471, Imperial Free City of Nernberg [Germany] d.April 6, 1528, Nernberg Albrecht Durer (May 21, 1471 ?C April 6, 1528) was a German painter, printmaker and theorist from Nuremberg. His still-famous works include the Apocalypse woodcuts, Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513), Saint Jerome in his Study (1514) and Melencolia I (1514), which has been the subject of extensive analysis and interpretation. His watercolours mark him as one of the first European landscape artists, while his ambitious woodcuts revolutionized the potential of that medium. D??rer introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, have secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatise which involve principles of mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions. His prints established his reputation across Europe when he was still in his twenties, and he has been conventionally regarded as the greatest artist of the Renaissance in Northern Europe ever since. .
