About the Book

Albrecht Durer (1471-1528), Renaissance genius - artist, poet, writer, and theorist - was acknowledged across Europe. He was praised as the Apelles Germaniae ('German Apelles'), honoured by noble patronage, commissioned by the Elector of Saxony, Frederick the Wise and Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. He worked in many mediums - woodcut, etching, and engraving, drawing, watercolour and oil painting and after his death there was a mania for his work (or many forgeries of it) for another half century. This glorious and comprehensive volume is both a fascinating biography of his life and of the period, and a gallery of his work. Insightful captions give background to the works as well as specifications of date, size, medium and where it is exhibited.

Her many published works include studies on Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, and Hans Holbein the Younger.

Review :
"Lorenz's series of monographs continues to impress. No, they aren't the absolutely definitive works on their subjects, but you get a good account by a proper academic of their life and work as well as infinitely better reproduced illustrations than you have any right to expect for the price. This one is slightly more expensive at £16.99, but they're still practically giving it away. 500 images is a lot and, no, they're not all full-page, but it does mean that you get to see a lot of less familiar works, as well as drawings and sketches, and the big-name stuff. Yes, of course the self-portrait and the hare are here as well as many representatives of his considerable religious output, but so are some illustrations from his Four Books on Human Proportion and other portraits and natural history subjects." Henry Malt, Art Book Review, September 2025
