Albrecht Durer

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.

Albrecht Durer St George on Horseback oil


St George on Horseback
Painting ID::  63589 		St George on Horseback
1505 (completed 1508) Engraving, 110 x 86 mm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York The last work before D?rer's sudden departure on a second trip to Venice in order to escape the Great Plague. This engraving was probably almost complete because the date 1505 had already been engraved in the plate. It was subsequently corrected to read 1508. The background is deliberately reduced in scale for sake of contrast and any indication of a landscape is omitted. D?rer in this engraving sought to combine the monumentality of The Large Horse with the elegance of The Small Horse. Pictured from behind, this unusual stance effectively conveys a feeling of pause before the saintly warrior forges ahead to further defend the Faith. It was also used in the Ober St. Veit Altarpiece, which was completed in D?rer's workshop during his absence in Italy.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: St George on Horseback Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious

Albrecht Durer Christ before Caiaphas oil


Christ before Caiaphas
Painting ID::  63591 		Christ before Caiaphas
1512 Engraving, 117 x 74 mm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Sheet No. 4 of the Engraved Passion. The ceiling, in this instance, gives the engraving a feeling of architectural enclosure, quite in contrast to other subjects of the series. The ceiling beams are directed toward the vanishing point on the left. This serves to emphasize the dialogue between Christ and Caiaphas, which is further enhanced by the lighting. The guardsman on the right seems Leonardesque. This engraving is based on the corresponding subject in the Green Passion. The main figures, especially the deceitful Caiaphas, are drawn in a masterly manner.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Christ before Caiaphas (No. 4) Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious
   
   
     
Albrecht Durer Portrait of a Young Man oil


Portrait of a Young Man
Painting ID::  63592 		Portrait of a Young Man
1521 Charcoal drawing on paper, 378 x 211 mm British Museum, London One of the portraits drawn sweepingly with charcoal during the journey to the Netherlands is this portrait of a young man whose identity has not yet been established. The scene is tightly framed, the bust of the portrayed man is moved right into the foreground, causing the wide cap to be cut off by the edges of the picture. His fashionable hat shows off to advantage the character head with the broad cheek bones and sensuous lips, which are depicted with great precision and delicacy.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Portrait of a Young Man Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait
   
   
     
Albrecht Durer Study of a Man Aged oil


Study of a Man Aged
Painting ID::  63593 		Study of a Man Aged
1521 Brush drawing on gray violet primed paper, 415 x 282 mm Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna D?rer prepared the painting of St Jerome (Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon) in several sketches. His model was a 93 year-old man from Antwerp. In this naturalistic brush drawing, the old man is already leaning his head on his hand, but in contrast with the painting is engrossed in his studies. In a handwritten note above the picture D?rer informs us that: "The man was 93 years old and still healthy."Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Study of a Man Aged 93 Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study
