Analysis of Albrecht Durer ArtworkAs for engravings, Durer art was restricted to portraits and illustrations for his treatise. Within three months of his marriage, He traveled over the Alps lonely and made Dürer watercolour sketches. These are the first pure landscape studies known in Western art. In Italy, the artist went to Venice to study its more advanced artistic world. Dürer opened his own workshop in Nuremberg, in 1495. Over the next five years his style increasingly integrated Italian influences into underlying Northern forms. The famous series of sixteen great paintings of Albrecht Durer for the Apocalypse is dated 1498, as is his engraving of St. Michael Fighting the Dragon. Some spectacular and original Albrecht Durer portraits were created with a highly detailed landscape background and animals such as Nemesis (1502), The Sea Monster (1498), Durer Four Horsemen, and Saint Eustace (c. 1501). His landscapes are quite different from his earlier watercolours in this period, the Albert Durer paintings are Pond in the Woods and Willow Mill,. He made a number of Madonnas, single religious figures, Hands Durer, and small scenes with comic peasant figures. |

Albrecht Dürer BiographyIn childhood, painter Durer started to learn the basics of goldsmith and drawing from his father who found his talent in drawing. In 1493 the first self-portrait was painted at this time, probably to be sent back to his fiancée in Nuremberg. At the age of 23, Albrecht Duerer was married to Agnes Frey, it was made during his absence. Ttil the spring of 1507 his engravings had attained great popularity and were being copied. The reputation of Dürer had spread throughout Europe and he was on friendly terms and in communication with most of the major artists including Raphael, Giovanni Bellini, Leonardo da Vinci. Dürer caught perhaps malaria, and finally returned home in July 1521, the illness afflicted him for the rest of his life. During the last years of his life, comparatively few Durer paintings were produced as an artist. Albrecht Dürer died in Nuremberg at the age of 56, leaving an estate valued at 6,874 florins. |
