  Albrecht Dürer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albrecht Dürer (May 21, 1471 - April 6, 1528) was a German painter, wood carver, engraver, and mathematician.
He is best known for his woodcuts in series, including the Apocalypse (1498), two series on the crucifixion of Christ, the Great Passion (1498-1510) and the Little Passion (1510-11) as well as many of his individual prints, such as Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513) and Melancholia I (1514).
His father, also called Albrecht, was a goldsmith and served as assistant to Hieronymus Helfer, and in 1468 married his daughter Barbara.

T o Durer, as well as to Luther, one page of the sacred book itself was worth all the learning of the Fathers, one simple good action to another fellowcreature would be more efficient to secure future bliss than a thousand indulgences bought by gold and the repeating of venal supplications.
Durer felt that he was gone from them altogether, and writes a lament full of genuine pathos and sorrow.
Durer's own best wood-engraver, Hieronymus Andrea+ was not only one of the ringleaders, but was actually thrown into prison, and three of his chief pupils and assistants in copperplateengraving, Barthel and Hans Sebald Beham and Georg Pencz, were expelled from the town.

Durer's own woodcuts have a quality entirely their own; though without colouring, they yet produced the effect of colour.

 Albrecht Durer's Melencolia
Durer (1471-1528), one of the two greatest artists Germany has ever produced, was particularly skilled in drawing on the block for the wood-cutter and in engraving on copper with his own unsurpassed hand.
Durer's brooding figure, posed in an attitude of dejection and frustration, with a sad, leaden, downward cast, may be interpreted as an embodiment of the alchemical searcher after the ephemeral Stone -- or, in a wider sense, as the seeker after wisdom -- in a mood of temporary defeat.
The atmosphere of lassitude and gloom is intensified by the tolling bell, the quiescent infant, and the lean and passive hound.

 Albrecht Durer
Albrecht was the third child and his father's favorite because of his diligence, first, in mastering the simple lessons in reading and writing and, later, in his father's shop learning the goldsmith's craft.
Durer set off on his wanderings, in 1490, first to Strassburg, where he studied for a time, then on to Augsburg and Colmar where, to his great disappointment, he learned that Martin Schongauer was dead.
The more we look at this engraving the more we realize that it is by his faithful attention to minute detail that Durer attains this harmonious feeling; the knots in the wood in the ceiling, the writing material, the scissors on the wall behind the saint's desk, the shadow of the table on the floor.

Albrecht Dürer was born in 1471, 531 years ago this month, the son of a Hungarian goldsmith in Nuremburg, Germany.
Without Albrecht Dürer's invention of himself as "the artist prince" the great painters and printmakers who followed in his footsteps, artists like Rembrandt, Goya, Velazquez, Monet, and Picasso might well have been considered little more than extraordinarily able craftsmen.

 Durer's Polyhedra
Albrecht Durer, the remarkable German renaissance printmaker (1471-1528), made an important contribution to the polyhedral literature in his 1525 book, Underweysung der Messung, available in English translation as Painter's Manual.
Durer travelled to Italy to learn perspective and wanted to publish the methods so they were not kept secret among a few artists.
Durer's Underweysung der Messung contains a very interesting discussion of perspective and other techniques and it typifies the renaissance idea that polyhedra are models worthy of an artist's attention.

Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) made them using very sharp and very small steel chisels to cut his slender lines, or to be precise, to cut the wood away around them, leaving the lines standing, ready to be inked.
Lots of Durer's draperies are crinkly and crisp, like those cut into gray stone on Gothic churches, but in 1496 he'd just come back from Italy, and his Whore is costumed in the latest Venetian fashion.
Durer's paper pictures -- which were printed in the hundreds -- were aimed at a broader market.

ALBRECHT DURER, perhaps the greatest German artist of the Renaissance era, began his career in the Imperial Free City of Nuernberg with his father, a Hungarian goldsmith who had emigrated to Germany in 1455.
During his visit to Venice on his second Italian trip Durer was especially influenced by Giovanni Bellini and Bellini's brother-in-law Andrea Mantegna, each then near the end of his career.
An early chalk and watercolor portrait by Durer, 1494-5, appears to copy Gentile Bellini's profile painting, now lost, of Queen Caterina Cornaro (B-31) following her surrender of her throne in Cyprus and retirement to her native Venice.

For the fifth time the artist came back to the Passion of Christ eight years before his death; a few sketches are to be found in the Uffizi at Florence and in the Albertina at Vienna.
Wood and copperplate engraving were brought to great perfection by Durer; the latter, and etchings as well, by his own work; the former by his directions to the wood-engravers who carried out his designs.
From the inscription under these pictures, despite the fact that Peter is represented as holding the keys of heaven, and from other circumstances that prove little, some have wished to infer that towards the end of his life became attached to the doctrines of Luther.

Durer began the Large Passion c, 1496-97; Strauss thinks it quite possible that The Flagellation (Bartsch 8, Strauss 37),was the first print in the series.
Over the next few years, Durer added six additional woodcuts, and the seven were sold as single sheets.
As always, Panofsky's Life and Art of Albrecht Durer (Princeton University Press, 1945, revised editions culminating in the 1971 edition) is crucial for an understanding of the work of this great artist and printmaker.
