Albrecht Dürer

German, 1471–1528

Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a German painter, printmaker, and theorist associated with the German Renaissance. Born in Nuremberg, he gained recognition across Europe in his twenties for his woodcut prints and later specialized in engravings. Dürer introduced classical motifs and the nude into Northern art, influenced by Italian artists and German humanists. His writings addressed mathematical principles in linear perspective and body proportions.
