The author provides detailed analyses of Durer's artistic techniques and styles, as well as his use of symbolism and allegory in his paintings and prints.In addition to his artistic talent, Durer was also a prolific writer and thinker, and the book includes excerpts from his letters and writings, providing insight into his creative process and his views on art, religion, and society.Overall, Durer and His Times is an essential read for anyone interested in the art and culture of the Renaissance period, and a valuable resource for scholars and students of art history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
