Albrecht Durer (1471-1528)
Albrecht Durer (1471-1528), the most famous artist of Reformation Germany,
widely known for his paintings, drawings, prints, and theoretical writings on art,
all of which had a profound influence on 16th-century artists in his own country and in the Lowlands.
Until his death, he made notes and drawings for his best-known treatise,
the Four Books on Human Proportions. Artists of his day, however, more visually oriented
than literary figures, looked more to Durer's engravings and woodcuts.
