- Book Synopsis
- Brimming with stunning reproductions and illuminating texts, this handy and accessible book is the perfect introduction to the famous Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. Albrecht Du¨rer (1471-1521) is considered the most important German painter and graphic artist of the Renaissance period. His numerous self-portraits, his impressive altarpieces, and his detailed copperplate engravings are world-famous. Du¨rer's works are icons of art history, whose quality and innovative power still set the trend for artists worldwide today. Even during his lifetime, this brilliant visionary, who self-confidently depicted himself posing as Christ, was able to successfully market himself, even establishing the first logo in history with his monogram. In addition to an illustrated biography that places Du¨rer within his historical context, many of his most famous paintings and drawings are presented and clearly explained.
