Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) was a German Renaissance painter, engraver, draughtsman and woodcut designer. Dürer’s first visit to Italy led to a series of watercolours of the Alps and he was influenced by Italian artists, particularly Mantegna and Antonio Pollaiuolo. Dürer’s paintings include ‘Self-Portrait’ as Christ, ‘Adoration of the Magi,’ ‘The Feast of the Rose Garlands.’ He worked for Emperor Maximilian I from 1512 to 1519, during which time Dürer completed some of his most famous engravings including ‘Knight, Death, and the Devil.’ His last important work was ‘The Four Apostles.’
