Product Description
Albrecht DÜrer and the Venetian Renaissance examines twenty-five paintings by the German artist in an effort to reevaluate his relationship to contemporary Italian art and his status as a painter.Luber explains how DÜrer appropriated Venetian techniques and suggests that the artist was engaged in the exploration of an atmospheric, coloristic perspective.This exploration, Luber argues, unifies DÜrer's work and necessitates a reassessment of the critical partition of his painted and graphic work. ...

Product Description
This incredible collection contains drawings in which Dürer experimented with many methods: the "anthropometric system," learned from Leonardo; the "exempeda" method, known to most as the man inscribed in a circle, the human figure in motion and much more. While some drawings are theoretical, many more are life studies that rank among the finest ever done. 170 plates.

Very interesting
This book is so interesting as it shows how Dürer was constructing the human figure. He used geometry and many different proportional systems. There is even one heroic man of ten headlengths.
Needless to say his artistic ideals were very different from those today.

I would highly recommend this book to all interested in figure drawing as well as the history of art. You will come closer to actually understanding such a wonderful artist as Dürer. You will also get to see how hard he was working so that he could truly understand and master the human figure.
His work in this book is very impressive.

Product Description
Presented in a folder and ornamental slipcase are 32 pages of woodprints series from Durer's "Apocalypse", and an accompanying volume. This series was originally published in 1498 in German and Latin making Albert Durer (1471-1528) known in Europe almost over night. As early as 1511 a second edition followed in book form. Pictures on 15 large woodprints tell of the horror of the last days and the beginning of the kingdom of God as described in the Revelation of St John the Divine. Published shortly before the turn of the 1500s it had a special meaning to the people as the visions were thought to be prophesies of the advancing last days. ... Read more
