Albrecht Dürer, sometimes spelt in English as Durer or Duerer (without an umlaut), was a German painter, printmaker, and theorist of the German Renaissance. His success in spreading his reputation across Europe through prints was undoubtedly an inspiration for major artists such as Raphael, Titian, and Parmigianino, all of whom collaborated with printmakers in order to promote and distribute their work. [37] The delaying of the engraving of St Philip, completed in 1523 but not distributed until 1526, may have been due to Dürer's uneasiness with images of saints; even if Dürer was not an iconoclast, in his last years he evaluated and questioned the role of art in religion.[38]. However, in 1513 and 1514 Dürer created his three most famous engravings: The Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513, probably based on Erasmus's treatise 'Enichiridion militis Christiani'), St. Jerome in his Study, and the much-debated Melencolia I (both 1514). His father — after whom he was named — was a successful goldsmith of Hungarian heritage, and young Albrecht apprenticed with him before deciding on an artistic career instead. Some have survived and others may be deduced from accurate landscapes of real places in his later work, for example his engraving Nemesis. It is possible he had begun learning this skill during his early training with his father, as it was also an essential skill of the goldsmith. His reputation had spread throughout Europe and he was on friendly terms and in communication with most of the major artists including Raphael, Giovanni Bellini and—mainly through Lorenzo di Credi—Leonardo da Vinci. His 1523 The Last Supper woodcut has often been understood to have an evangelical theme, focusing as it does on Christ espousing the Gospel, as well the inclusion of the Eucharistic cup, an expression of Protestant utraquism,[36] although this interpretation has been questioned.

Initially, it was "Thürer," meaning doormaker, which is "ajtós" in Hungarian (from "ajtó", meaning door). Wolgemut was the leading artist in Nuremberg at the time, with a large workshop producing a variety of works of art, in particular woodcuts for books. These were larger and more finely cut than the great majority of German woodcuts hitherto, and far more complex and balanced in composition. This provides rare information of the monetary value placed on prints at this time. Dürer also made several portraits of the Emperor, including one shortly before Maximilian's death in 1519. He married Holper, his master's daughter, when he himself qualified as a master. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatises, which involve principles of mathematics, perspective, and ideal proportions. In all these, Dürer shows the objects as nets. Albrecht Dürer the Younger later changed "Türer", his father's diction of the family's surname, to "Dürer", to adapt to the local Nuremberg dialect. As for engravings, Dürer's work was restricted to portraits and illustrations for his treatise. Despite the regard in which he was held by the Venetians, Dürer was back in Nuremberg by mid-1507, and he remained in Germany until 1520. He is thought to be the first to describe a visualization technique used in modern computers, ray tracing. His father was a successful goldsmith, originally named Ajtósi, who in 1455 had moved to Nuremberg from Ajtós, near Gyula in Hungary.

Dürer created only three prints in the medium of drypoint. Over the next five years, his style increasingly integrated Italian influences into underlying Northern forms. Either way, his drawings were destroyed during the cutting of the block. The design program and explanations were devised by Johannes Stabius, the archtectural design by the master builder and court-painter Jörg Kölderer and the woodcutting itself by Hieronymous Andreae, with Dürer as designer-in-chief. During his lifetime, Dürer found tremendous success as a painter and printmaker, taking commissions from prominent figures such as Frederick the Wise and Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. During this period he also completed two woodcut series, the Great Passion and the Life of the Virgin, both published in 1511 together with a second edition of the Apocalypse series. Albrecht married Agnes Dürer on month day 1494, at age 23 at marriage place . The woodcuts series are more Gothic than the rest of his work. Husband of Agnes Dürer However, his training in Wolgemut's studio, which made many carved and painted altarpieces and both designed and cut woodblocks for woodcut, evidently gave him great understanding of what the technique could be made to produce, and how to work with block cutters. His engravings seem to have had an intimidating effect upon his German successors, the "Little Masters" who attempted few large engravings but continued Dürer's themes in small, rather cramped compositions. Albrecht Dürer the Elder (German: Albrecht Dürer der Ältere, often abbreviated Albrecht Dürer d. Ä.; ca. Albrecht Dürer the Elder (originally Albrecht Ajtósi), was a successful goldsmith who by 1455 had moved to Nuremberg from Ajtós [hu; fr], near Gyula in Hungary.

Dürer worked with pen on the marginal images for an edition of the Emperor's printed Prayer-Book; these were quite unknown until facsimiles were published in 1808 as part of the first book published in lithography. He was also familiar with the 'abbreviated construction' as described by Alberti and the geometrical construction of shadows, a technique of Leonardo da Vinci. He got his early education at Lateinschule in St Lorenz. His well-known works include the Apocalypse woodcuts, Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513), Saint Jerome in his Study (1514) and Melencolia I (1514), which has been the subject of extensive analysis and interpretation.

[9], After completing his apprenticeship, Dürer followed the common German custom of taking Wanderjahre—in effect gap years—in which the apprentice learned skills from artists in other areas; Dürer was to spend about four years away. Dürer rejected Alberti's concept of an objective beauty, proposing a relativist notion of beauty based on variety. Between 1512 and the final draft in 1528, Dürer's belief developed from an understanding of human creativity as spontaneous or inspired to a concept of 'selective inward synthesis'. Prints are highly portable and these works made Dürer famous throughout the main artistic centres of Europe within a very few years.[9]. His commissions included The Triumphal Arch, a vast work printed from 192 separate blocks, the symbolism of which is partly informed by Pirckheimer's translation of Horapollo's Hieroglyphica. Dürer's geometric constructions include helices, conchoids and epicycloids. On his return to Nuremberg in 1495, Dürer opened his own workshop (being married was a requirement for this). The fourth book completes the progression of the first and second by moving to three-dimensional forms and the construction of polyhedra. [n 3].

Albrecht Dürer - Albrecht Dürer - Service to Maximilian I: While in Nürnberg in 1512, the Holy Roman emperor Maximilian I enlisted Dürer into his service, and Dürer continued to work mainly for the emperor until 1519. From 1512, Maximilian I, became Dürer's major patron. Between 1507 and 1511 Dürer worked on some of his most celebrated paintings: Adam and Eve (1507), Martyrdom of the Ten Thousand (1508, for Frederick of Saxony), Virgin with the Iris (1508), the altarpiece Assumption of the Virgin (1509, for Jacob Heller of Frankfurt), and Adoration of the Trinity (1511, for Matthaeus Landauer). Dürer journeyed with his wife and her maid via the Rhine to Cologne and then to Antwerp, where he was well received and produced numerous drawings in silverpoint, chalk and charcoal. This was the altar-piece known as the Adoration of the Virgin or the Feast of Rose Garlands. Dürer took a large stock of prints with him and wrote in his diary to whom he gave, exchanged or sold them, and for how much. However, no children resulted from the marriage. [n 4] Further outstanding pen and ink drawings of Dürer's period of art work of 1513 were drafts for his friend Pirckheimer.

"The Four Books on Human Proportion" were published posthumously, shortly after his death in 1528 at the age of fifty-six. Dürer lost both of his parents during the next decade: his father died in 1502 and his mother died in 1513. Lucas van Leyden was the only Northern European engraver to successfully continue to produce large engravings in the first third of the 16th century. The generation of Italian engravers who trained in the shadow of Dürer all either directly copied parts of his landscape backgrounds (Giulio Campagnola and Christofano Robetta), or whole prints (Marcantonio Raimondi and Agostino Veneziano).

Albrecht Dürer the Elder married Barbara Holper, the daughter of his master, when he himself became a master in 1467. In addition to attending the coronation, he visited Cologne (where he admired the painting of Stefan Lochner), Nijmegen, 's-Hertogenbosch, Bruges (where he saw Michelangelo's Madonna of Bruges), Ghent (where he admired van Eyck's Ghent altarpiece),[26] and Zeeland. After a few years of school, Dürer started to learn the basics of goldsmithing and drawing from his father. Dürer's work on the book was halted for an unknown reason, and the decoration was continued by artists including Lucas Cranach the Elder and Hans Baldung. This may have been in part to his declining health, but perhaps also because of the time he gave to the preparation of his theoretical works on geometry and perspective, the proportions of men and horses, and fortification. He was soon producing some spectacular and original images, notably Nemesis (1502), The Sea Monster (1498), and Saint Eustace (ca.1501), with a highly detailed landscape background and beautiful animals. These drafts were later used to design Lusterweibchen chandeliers, combining an antler with a wooden sculpture. On his return to Nuremberg, Dürer worked on a number of grand projects with religious themes, including a crucifixion scene and a Sacra conversazione, though neither was completed. Dürer may have worked on some of these, as the work on the project began while he was with Wolgemut.
