Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a German painter, printmaker, and theorist of the Renaissance, renowned for his mastery of detail and innovative contributions to printmaking. Born in Nuremberg, Dürer trained under his father, a goldsmith, and later traveled to Italy, where he absorbed Renaissance ideas that he merged with Northern European artistic traditions. He is celebrated for his woodcuts, engravings, and altarpieces, including works like Melencolia I, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and his intricate self‑portraits. Dürer’s writings on proportion, perspective, and geometry influenced generations of artists, and his ability to combine technical precision with expressive, symbolic imagery secured his reputation as one of the foremost figures of Northern Renaissance art.
