Self-Portrait_at_13
1484 Silverpoint on paper, 275 x 196 mm Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna At the age of 13, D?rer created the earliest self-portrait of an artist at so young an age. Using silverpoint, the features of D?rer with which we are familiar from later self-portraits, though still rather childlike here, are depicted with gentle strokes. Like one of Martin Schongauer's Late Gothic angels in depictions of the Annunciation, the boy is also pointing to the right. His left hand is concealed beneath his sleeve, thus suggesting that this self-portrait was painted in front of a mirror.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Self-Portrait at 13 Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait

Study_of_an_Architect
1506 Brush and ink heightened with white on paper, 386 x 262 mm Staatliche Museen, Berlin D?rer worked very hard on the Altarpiece of the Rose Garlands, and no less than 22 of his studies for the work have survived. These include a sketch of an architect holding a set square, probably Hieronymous of Augsburg. He is dressed in black at the far right of the painting, near the front. Hieronymous was then working on the reconstruction of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, the Germans' trading house in Venice which had been destroyed by fire in 1505.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Study of an Architect Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study

so-called Asclepius c. 1500 Pen drawing, green ink, 325 x 205 mm Staatliche Museen, Berlin This pen drawing of the so-called Asclepius, the classical god of medicine, is one of D?rer's earliest studies of proportion. The design sketch proves that the figure was originally laid out as a study of proportion. The muscular detail of the body is similar to that of Adam in the copper engraving dating from 1504.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Male Nude with a Glass and Snake, so-called Asclepius Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study

Self-Portrait_with_a_Bandage
1491-92 Pen drawing on paper, back side, 204 x 208 mm Graphische Sammlung der Universit?tsbibliothek, Erlangen D?rer's self portrait with a bandage presumably dates from the first period of his journeys; it was sketched with rapid strokes, and D?rer's face with his inquiring gaze stands out. The hand gesture is reminiscent of the tradition of depictions of Christ suffering, of melancholy and sleep. An interpretation of melancholy fits in most readily with a self portrait in this manner.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Self-Portrait with a Bandage Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait

The_Virgin_Nursing_the_Child
1512 Charcoal, 418 x 288 mm Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna (The sheet is drastically cut at the right and the bottom.) This can scarcely be considered as a preliminary study for a painting; on the contrary, it is an independent drawing par excellence, with a great deal of curly and distinct linear movement. It is clear from this how incompletely the tortured motif of the 1512 painting of the Virgin (Vienna) reveals the artist's general frame of mind in this period.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: The Virgin Nursing the Child Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study

b.May 21, 1471, Imperial Free City of Nernberg [Germany]
d.April 6, 1528, Nernberg
Albrecht Durer (May 21, 1471 ?C April 6, 1528) was a German painter, printmaker and theorist from Nuremberg. His still-famous 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. His watercolours mark him as one of the first European landscape artists, while his ambitious woodcuts revolutionized the potential of that medium. D??rer introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, have secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatise which involve principles of mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions.
His prints established his reputation across Europe when he was still in his twenties, and he has been conventionally regarded as the greatest artist of the Renaissance in Northern Europe ever since.
