Albrecht Dürer
Albrecht Dürer, born in Nuremberg, Germany in 1471, was a seminal figure in the Northern Renaissance. He trained as a goldsmith and later as a painter and printmaker. Dürer's early career was marked by his masterful woodcuts and engravings, such as "The Apocalypse" series and "Melencolia I." His work combined detailed observation with complex symbolism, influencing both Northern and Italian Renaissance artists. Dürer was also an accomplished painter, with notable works like "The Four Apostles." His art is housed in major collections including the Albertina in Vienna and the British Museum. He died in 1528, leaving a lasting legacy in art history. Read more about Arts.
