History Online - Durer[an error occurred while processing this directive]Albrecht Durer
There is almost obsessive quality about a great Durer. One feels the weight of a sensibility searching into the inner truth of his subject. It is this inwardness that interests Durer, an inner awareness that is always well contained within the outer form, but that lights it from within.
Dürer was so great an artist, so searching and all-encompassing a thinker, that he was almost a Renaissance in his own right -- and his work was admired by contemporaries in the North and South alike. The 16th century saw the emergence of a new type of patron, not the grand aristocrat but the bourgeois, eager to purchase pictures in the newly developed medium of woodcut printing. The new century also brought an interest in Humanism and science, and a market for books, many of which were illustrated with woodcuts. The accuracy and inner perception of Dürer's art represent one aspect of German portraiture; another is seen in the work of that master of the court portrait, Holbein. |
