Book excerpt: Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) is a master artist who, with giants like Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt van Rijn, occupies the pinnacle of achievement. His appeal was extraordinary in his lifetime, and it has not diminished since his death. A member of the northern school, he combined Gothic and Renaissance traits in a way that has a particular attraction to the modern eye. Overriding all considerations of style, however, are his talents as an artist of genius, as revealed in his mastery of depiction, in the breadth of his composition, and in the penetration of his portrayal. These are the basis of his fame, past and present. Dürer's crowning achievement was in the graphic media - drawing and printmaking. The only names that come to mind as peers in these are Rembrandt and Goya, and he preceded the Dutchman by a century and the Spaniard by three. In discussing a master artist one picture is worth a thousand words, and one need only turn to the engraving of Melencolia I to see why the Italian Renaissance writer Giorgio Vasari said it was "the most delicate work an engraver could possibly bring off." A comprehensive selection of Dürer's compositions is presented here by the esteemed German art historian Heinz Lüdecke, who has provided a lucid essay that gives essential biographical and historical information, as well as a description and stylistic analysis of the important works in all media. The text is perfectly complemented by the illustrations, which reproduce in color or black and white the heart of Dürer's extant œuvre. For the initiate who wants to familiarize himself with the essential meaning of Dürer and for the connoisseur who wants to savor his remarkable creations, this book serves in a unique way." --

Download or read book Albrecht D rer and His Legacy written by Giulia Bartrum and published by British Museum Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) was in a sense the first truly international artist. The collection of his work in the British Museum is one of the best in the world. This book shows how his sophisticated development of the techniques of woodcut and engraving introduced the idea of multiple images into fine art and thereby altered the history of printmaking. The chronology of his career is traced from his early work in the medieval tradition of Martin Schongauer, through the experience he acquired while living in Italy, to his major print projects for the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I." "The book also examines Durer's influence at later periods, from the obsessive interest in his work by collectors and artists during the late sixteenth century to the virtually iconic status he acquired amid the rise of German nationalism during the nineteenth century. The Nobel-winning German novelist Gunter Grass, himself a printmaker, contributes a subjective view of Durer's images from a twentieth-century standpoint, while other introductory essays by Guilia Bartrum, Joseph Koerner and Ute Kuhlemann consider aspects of Durer's legacy through history. The illustrations include all Durer's best-known prints as well as numerous drawings and watercolours."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book The Complete Engravings Etchings and Drypoints of Albrecht D rer written by Albrecht Dürer and published by Dover Publications. This book was released on 1972-06-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albrecht Dürer's 96 engravings, six etchings, and three dynamic drypoints are counted among his finest and best-known works. By the very nature of the medium, each fine line of an engraving is controlled by the artist and is dependent upon the pressure of the burin in his hand. In the engravings, Dürer was therefore able to achieve an unprecedented intricacy of detail, subtlety of line, and three-dimensionality. All 105 of Dürer's works in these three mediums are reproduced in this edition. Among them are his most famous works, "Knight, Death and Devil," "Melencolia I," and "St. Jerome in His Study"; also portraits of his contemporaries, including Erasmus of Rotterdam and Frederick the Wise, popular and religious subjects sold by Dürer's wife at fairs, "Adam and Eve," the Engraved Passion (15 subjects), and "The Virgin with the Dragonfly." Many of these show him even more charming and subtle than do the comparative woodcuts. Reproductions of experimental impression offer the opportunity to study Dürer's working method. Dürer's subjects range from scenes of the New Testament and the life of the Saints to portrayals of peasant personalities and representations of portentous events, such as "The Four Witches" and "Sol Justitae," done in 1499 in anticipation of the Final Judgment that was widely predicted for the end of the century. The engraving "The Monstrous Sow of Landser," a pig born with one head, four ears, two bodies, eight feet, on six of which it stood, and with two tongues," similarly recorded in event that was regarded as an ill omen. In the present edition, by means of shooting in most instances directly to lithographic film from the finest impressions, the engravings, where possible, have been printed so that even under a magnifying glass Dürer's exact lines can be seen. Likewise, except in a very few cases, the sizes have been kept exactly to the originals, complete with border-lines where indicated. Walter L. Strauss has prepared the commentary for this edition with references to major catalogs, a summary of the statements of earlier commentators, and background material on the engravings, on Dürer, and on the subjects of the works. If you are interested in Dürer, a copy of this edition of the engravings is a must.

This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Bulletin discusses the Met's extensive collection of Renaissance textile pattern books, used primarily by women to embroider clothes and accessories. The practice of embroidery was seen as a virtuous endeavor, and textile pattern books, published with great frequency from the 1520s onward, were designed to inspire, instruct, and encourage "beautiful and virtuous women" in this esteemed practice. Straddling the disciplines of early printmaking, ornament design, and textile decoration, these works help shed light on the crucial period when the concept of fashion as a means of distinguishing individual identity became fixed in Western society.
