Books
A polymath of the German Renaissance, Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) 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. This title contains a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his cultural and historical importance.
