Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) is arguably the first truly
international artist, a celebrity both during his own lifetime and
since. A major artist of the northern Renaissance, he was praised
by his contemporaries and described shortly after his death as the
prince among German painters. Durers achievements as a painter were
matched by his remarkable manipulation of the traditional
techniques of woodcut and engraving, which altered the history of
printmaking and ensured that his works were admired and collected
throughout Europe. The British Museum holds one of the finest
collections of Durers graphic art in the world, with superlative
prints and drawings from all phases of his career. Beginning with
an introduction to the life of the artist, the book presents a
selection of Durers best-known works including early figure
studies, landscape watercolours, animal studies drawn from nature
and his imaginative famous prints such as Adam and Eve, Rhinoceros
and Melancholia. As well as demonstrating Durers astonishing range
of subject matter, the book explores his working method and the
versatile, spontaneous nature of his draughtsmanship. The
development of Durers ideas from drawings to related woodcuts and
engravings is also investigated, making the book a perfect concise
introduction to this fascinating and much-admired artist.
