The Genius of German Renaissance - Albrecht Duerer

Albrecht DuererSometimes it feels so good to get into high antiquity and have a look at the great masters whose works are still alive and admired... The art of 15th century in Germany is marked with the period of Renaissance. The revival of fine arts of that time was intensive and full of different schools and trends. The brightest star on the Renaissance sky of Germany was a great painter and engraver Albrecht Duerer.

The most famous and outstanding artist of Germany of that time, Albrecht Duerer greatly contributed to the development of art and science. Duerer had an absolutely unique style of work, and he mostly polished it during his two visits to Italy, where he got acquainted with the great Bellini, who had a particular influence on his works. Duerer was exceptionally smart, and this caused his own treatise on proportion in 1528. There are more facts about Duerer than about any other artist of that time, and these data state that Duerer was a very reserved person, and never let his emotions out in front of the others. So they had to find their way in his fabulously beautiful works; that is probably why they look so touching.

Duerer is often said to be Renaissance himself. It makes sense: his interest in geometry and mathematical proportions, his curiosity in exploring the world, his observations of nature, and his awareness of his own individual potential demonstrate the spirit of German Renaissance.
