Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) was the greatest artist of the Northern
European Renaissance. Durer's virtuoso woodcuts and engravings
ensured his fame throughout the Continent during his own lifetime.
Yet he also produced an extraordinary output in other media -
including painting, watercolour and drawing - which encompasses
riveting portraits and self-portraits, grand altarpieces and
meticulous studies of animals and nature. In this major new
monograph, Jeffrey Chipps Smith examines the myths that have
contributed to Durer's legend, considering his life and career
within the framework of a tumultuous epoch in European history.
Taking account of the extensive scholarship on the artist, Smith
provides fresh insights into many of his most notable works,
uncovering the creative process behind them and their wealth of
meanings and ideas. Central to Smith's focus is the historical and
cultural ferment of pre- and post-Reformation Europe, as he traces
Durer's formative years in the Imperial free city of Nuremberg and
his subsequent travels across Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
The result is a vivid picture of the professional activity of a
prolific and psychologically complex figure. With its detailed
commentary and original research, this is both an authoritive and
an approachable monograph - indispensable for the student or
scholar, while certain to appeal to anyone interested in this
brilliant artist.
