| 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. | ||||

Head of the Twelve Year Old Christ new21/Albrecht Durer-238662.jpg Painting ID:: 63653 |
1506 Brush drawing on blue Venetian paper, 275 x 211 mm Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna The head study of the twelve year-old Jesus was originally drawn on the same sheet, later separated, as the preliminary drawing of the lute-playing angel in the Feast of the Rose Garlands. This is confirmed by the fact that the two pictures were created at the same time. In contrast to the preliminary drawing for the Feast of the Rose Garlands, D?rer kept more rigidly to his preliminary study in the painting of Christ among the Doctors, diverging only in details such as the reproduction of the hair.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Head of the Twelve Year Old Christ Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : study | ||
