<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Rediscover the drawings of Albrecht Dürer, one of the most prominent Renaissance artists, known as an incomparable painter and draughtsman with a keen eye for the natural world.</b> <p/>During his lifetime, Dürer found tremendous success as a painter and printmaker, taking commissions from prominent figures such as Frederick the Wise and Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. His drawings and studies reveal his interest in human proportions, anatomy, and perspective. Featured in this book are Dürer's drawings from the Albertina Museum's preeminent collection including family portraits, studies of animals and plants, and studies of the human body. This book showcases more than 100 of Dürer's drawings including <i>Hare</i>, <i>Self Portrait at the Age of 13</i>, and <i>Melencolia I</i>, along with paintings and prints. Featuring scholarly essays and beautifully reproduced works, this book shows the reader not only how important Dürer's drawings are to his own oeuvre, but also how he helped drawing become an appreciated medium in its own right.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>CHRISTOF METZGER is a Dürer specialist and Chief Curator at the Albertina Museum in Vienna.
