Genius of the German Renaissance: Engravings, paintings, drawings, and sketches
Though most famous for his engravings, Albrecht D&uulm;rer (1471—1528) was also a master painter and draftsman whose work exemplifies the spirit of German art. Dürer’s importance in the German High Renaissance was such that he can be considered to embody the movement entirely. His visits to Italy (where he studied most notably with Giovanni Bellini) had a profound effect on his artistic development and enabled him to combine both German and Italian influences in his work. In his later life, Dürer’s passion for knowledge and progress led him to research and write on the subjects of art theory and mathematics, making him not onlythe greatest Northern European artist of his time, but also one of itsleading thinkers.
This overview of Dürer’s entire oeuvre—covering his oil, tempera, and watercolor paintings, copper and wood engravings, and his drawings and sketches—is the perfect introduction to his work.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A polymath of the German Renaissance, Albrecht Duerer (14711528) was a prolific artist, theorist, and writer whose works explored everything from religion to art theory to philosophy. His vast body of work includes altarpieces, portraits, self-portraits, watercolors, and books, but is most celebrated for its astonishing collection of woodcut prints, which transformed printmaking from an artisan practice into a whole new art form. Duerers woodcuts astonish in scale as much as detail. Through works such as Apocalypse and the Triumphal Arch for Emperor Maximilian I, he created dense, meticulous compositions that were much larger, much more finely cut, and far more complex than any earlier woodcut efforts. With an ambitious tonal and dynamic range, he introduced a new level of conceptual, emotional, and spiritual intensity. His two major woodcut series on Christs Passion, named The Large Passion and The Small Passion after their size, are particularly remarkable for their vivid human treatment of the Christian narrative. In his copper engraving, Melancholia I, meanwhile, Duerer created a startling vision of emotional ennui, often cited as a defining early image of a depressive or melancholic state.Ever inquisitive, Duerer absorbed ideas not only from masters and fellow artists in Germany but also from Italy, while his own influence extended across Europe for generations to come. In this essential TASCHEN introduction, we explore this pioneering figures complex practice, his omnivorous intellect, and the key works which shaped his enduring legacy. All you need to know about Albrecht Duerer, the German Renaissance polymath whose masterful compositionsincluding Melancholia I and Knight, Death and the Devilrevolutionized woodcut illustration, engraving, and printmaking and left an indelible mark on European art.
