DURER. (J.Berger), “Basic art series“

Drer's art - Absolute fidelity to every detail Five full centuries lie between us and the life of Albrecht Drer (1471-1528). His ability to represent a subject with an absolute fidelity to every detail seemed miraculous to his contemporaries, and still astounds us now: we need only think of his water-colours of plants and animals. In addition, Drer was the first painter to devote such close attention to the art of the self-portrait. No artist before him painted as many as he. The works by Drer collected in this book show the full range of this artist's unique genius.
