Albrecht Durer German 21 May 1471 - 6 April 15284 sometimes spelled in English as Durer without an umlaut or Duerer was a German painter printmaker and theorist of the German Renaissance. Born in Nuremberg Durer established his reputation and influence across Europe in his twenties due to his high-quality woodcut prints. He was in contact with the major Italian artists of his time including Raphael Giovanni Bellini and Leonardo da Vinci and from 1512 was patronized by Emperor Maximilian I. Durer's vast body of work includes engravings his preferred technique in his later prints altarpieces portraits and self-portraits watercolours and books. The woodcuts series are more Gothic than the rest of his work. His well-known engravings include the three Meisterstiche master prints Knight Death and the Devil 1513 Saint Jerome in his Study 1514 and Melencolia I 1514. His watercolours mark him as one of the first European landscape artists while his woodcuts revolutionised the potential of that medium. Durer's introduction of classical motifs into Northern art through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists has secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatises which involve principles of mathematics perspective and ideal proportions.--Wikipedia Les Editions Braun & C paperback books
