Dürer, Albrecht (b. May 21, 1471, Imperial Free City of Nürnberg
[Germany]--d. April 6, 1528, Nürnberg), German painter, printmaker,
draughtsman and art theorist, generally regarded as the greatest German
Renaissance painter. His vast body of work includes altarpieces and
religious works, numerous portraits and self-portraits, and copper
engravings. His woodcuts, such as the Apocalypse series (1498), retain a
more Gothic flavour than the rest of his work.
Born in Nürnberg as the third son of the Hungarian goldsmith Albrecht
Dürer. Began as an apprentice to his father in 1485, but his earliest
known work, one of his many self portraits, was made in 1484. Died in
Nürnberg in 1528.
