Painter, printmaker, theorist, and pioneer, Albrecht Dürer is the most important artist of the Northern Renaissance. His portraits of the noblesse made him famous, his drawings, watercolors, and prints elevated these mediums into serious art forms. This extensive monograph explores his dazzling range, extraordinary career, and enduring legacy.
Northern Star
Exploring the brilliance, ambition, and timeless impact of a true innovator
Albrecht Dürer is the undisputed genius of the Northern Renaissance, a visionary unbound by a single medium. He carved a career spanning painting, printmaking, drawing, and art theory, mastering each with dazzling skill. Famous in his own lifetime for his portraits of princes and patricians, his luminous drawings and watercolors transformed the sketch into an art form in its own right: works such as Young Hare stand as marvels of observation, capturing life with a precision and sensitivity that still amaze today.
He was native to the bustling city of Nuremberg, but his travels brought him face-to-face with Renaissance humanism, Venetian color, and classical ideals of beauty. These he absorbed and reimagined with northern precision. As court artist to Maximilian I, and confidant of humanists like Erasmus, he moved easily among the great minds of his age, his musings on measurement and proportion establishing him as one of Europe’s great thinkers. But he never stopped producing work of startling intimacy, from unflinching self-portraits and elaborate prints to meticulously observed studies of nature.
Featuring every known painting—many reproduced with brand-new photography—and nearly 500 drawings, this graceful volume captures the sweep of Dürer’s genius. From monumental altarpieces to intimate portraits, from delicate studies of the world around him to bold experiments, it reveals an artist both of his time and ahead of it, an innovator whose vision still feels urgent today. More than a compendium, it is a celebration of a polymath who continues to astonish and inspire.
