Albrecht Dürer

Dürer trained as a goldsmith with his father in Nuremberg and studied with the painter Wolgemut. In 1505–07 Dürer set up a workshop where he had an extensive production of wood carvings and paintings, including orders from the Emperor Maximilian I.

Durer's significance for art history lies mainly in the fact that, during a period of change in Europe, he combined theoretical insights with the specifics of German and Dutch art and its roots in late medieval traditions. In the field of graphic art, Dürer had a great importance in creating wood carvings that were able to express the most subtle imagery. His works include around 70 oil paintings, 65 copper engravings, 340 wood carvings, and 1,200 drawings and watercolors.
