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 Harrowing of Hell oil


Harrowing of Hell
Painting ID::  63634 		Harrowing of Hell
1512 Engraving, 117 x 73 mm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Sheet No. 14 of the Engraved Passion. Adam and Eve are on the left, Moses is behind them, Cerberus above. The contrast between engraved and woodcut versions is similar to that described for the Deposition. The man whose arm Christ is touching is probably St John the Baptist. This print is a new and felicitous rendering, bearing witness to D?rer's inventiveness and imagination. Eve looks charming next to the aged Adam.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Harrowing of Hell; or, Christ in Limbo (No. 14) Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious
   
   
     
Albrecht Durer Self-Portrait as the Man of Sorrows oil


Self-Portrait as the Man of Sorrows
Painting ID::  63635 		Self-Portrait as the Man of Sorrows
1522 Drawing with lead pencil on blue-green primed paper, 408 x 290 mm Kunsthalle, Bremen The drawing was destroyed in war. The Man of Sorrows is generally considered to be a self-portrait of D?rer created during his journey to the Netherlands. Semi-naked with a sunken chest and lips parted in pain, the man is gazing very naturalistically out of the picture. His crossed arms and the Instruments of the Passion such as the scourge and fasces remind us of Christ's sufferings.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Self-Portrait as the Man of Sorrows Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait

Albrecht Durer St Peter and St John Healing the Cripple oil


St Peter and St John Healing the Cripple
Painting ID::  63638 		St Peter and St John Healing the Cripple
1513 Engraving, 118 x 74 mm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Sheet No. 16 of the Engraved Passion. This engraving, considered as the last sheet of the Engraved Passion, is, in fact, outside the scope of a Passion series. D?rer cannot possibly have intended it as the final sheet. It may therefore be presumed that he planned to add further subjects which were never completed. It has been left out of most of the old bound copies of the Engraved Passion, and may have been intended as the first sheet of a projected series of the Apostles. The contrast of the statuesque greatness of the Apostle and the merciless condition of the cripple is notable. This engraving is perhaps derived from Masaccio's fresco The Tribute Money in the Brancacci Chapel in Florence. St Peter is based on a drawing for the Heller Altarpiece; the man on the far left is inspired by a medal of John Paleologus. The ailment of the cripple has been identified as leprosy.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: St Peter and St John Healing the Cripple (No. 16) Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious
