Albrecht Dürer


Dürer, (May 21st 1471 – April 6th 1528) was a German painter, printmaker and theroist from Nuremberg. Dürer's 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.
