| Summary | "Dürer" by H. Knackfuß is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The text serves as a monograph dedicated to the life and works of the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer, exploring his artistic journey and contributions to the art world during the Renaissance. With numerous illustrations of Dürer's paintings, woodcuts, and engravings, the work aims to celebrate and dissect the impact of his artistry on the development of German painting. The opening of the work sets the stage by introducing Albrecht Dürer as a pivotal figure in 16th-century German art. It begins with details of his early life in Nuremberg and the influences that shaped his artistic ambitions, highlighting his initial training as a goldsmith before transitioning to painting. Key moments in Dürer's development, including his apprenticeship under Michael Wolgemut and his subsequent travels across Europe, are discussed, laying a foundation for his later masterpieces. The text portrays Dürer’s deep commitment to nature, his quest for beauty, and his innovative techniques, foreshadowing the comprehensive exploration of his artistic contributions that follows.
