Albrecht Dürer

En savoir plus sur le livre

Albrecht Durer epitomizes the Northern Renaissance and is one of the most celebrated artists of all time. But despite our substantial knowledge about him, he remains elusive. Beginning in 1891, the National Gallery of Victoria started making acquisitions sufficiently significant to make its collections of Durer one of the most important in the world. Over 150 b-w plates, a four-page fold out color plate and essays on the artist's life, 15th century life in Nuremberg during one of the great transforming periods of European history and on the book arts make this an invaluable addition to Durer literature.
