Albrecht Durer: His Art in Context

Edited by Jochen Sander






| book description |

This magnificent volume considers every aspect of Albrecht Durer's astonishing oeuvre. Thematically arranged, the selection of paintings, drawings, prints, etchings, and illustrated books comprise a highly diverse and accomplished body of work. In order to fully understand Durer's reputation as one of the most important artists of his time, this volume also includes works by his predecessors and contemporaries. By comparing and contrasting these works, and by understanding Durer's influences and inspirations, readers can see for themselves the technical prowess and emotional power of Durer's art. Interspersed throughout the book are fascinating essays that address such topics as Italian influences on Durer's art, the Heller Altarpiece, his workshop, his journey to the Netherlands, and his role as inventor of the humanist iconography.
