Description

""Albert Durer"" is a biographical book written by T. Sturge Moore about the life and works of the famous German artist, Albrecht D��rer. The book provides a comprehensive account of D��rer's life, from his childhood in Nuremberg to his rise as a renowned painter, printmaker, and theorist of the Northern Renaissance. It also delves into his artistic techniques, his influences, and his impact on the art world. The book is richly illustrated with reproductions of D��rer's most famous works, including his engravings, woodcuts, and paintings. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of art and the life of one of the greatest artists of all time.Who was Duerer? He has told us himself very simply, and more fully than men of his type generally do; for he was not, like Montaigne, one whose chief study was himself. Yet, though he has done this, it is not easy for us to fully understand him. It is perhaps impossible to place oneself in the centre of that horizon which was of necessity his and belonged to his day, a vast circle from which men could no more escape than we from ours; this cage of iron ignorance in which every human soul is trapped, and to widen and enlarge which every heroic soul lives and dies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
