Albert Durer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419105333)

""Albert Durer"" is a biography of the famous German artist, Albrecht D�����rer, written by T. Sturge Moore. The book delves into the life of D�����rer, exploring his upbringing, education, artistic influences, and the challenges he faced in his career. It also examines his most famous works, including his engravings, woodcuts, and paintings, and their impact on the art world. The author provides insight into D�����rer's personal life, including his marriage and relationships with other artists, as well as his religious beliefs and philosophical views. The book includes illustrations of D�����rer's artwork, as well as photographs of the places he lived and worked. Overall, ""Albert Durer"" offers a comprehensive look at the life and legacy of one of the most important artists of the Renaissance era.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
