Погортати книгу Albrecht Dürer

Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) is one of the most important and influential artists of the Northern Renaissance. He was a painter, printmaker and theorist and knew all the major Italian artists of his time, such as Raphael, Bellini, and Leonardo da Vinci.
His enormous talent and skills as a draughtsman were already manifest at a very young age, as can be seen in the Self-Portrait he produced in silverpoint drawing in 1484, when still barely thirteen years old.
With Emperor Maximilian I his patron from 1512, Dürer realized numerous engravings, altarpieces, portraits and self-portraits, watercolours and books.

His introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, secured his reputation as the most important figure of the German Renaissance.

Dürer in Detail reveals the work of the German master as never before, in breathtaking, large-format closeup. Till-Holger Borchert, the German art historian and director of the Bruges Museums, describes Dürer’s paintings, drawings, and graphic masterpieces, detail by detail, while offering original insights delivered in
clear and accessible language. The book is organized thematically and includes a biography, an annotated list of works, and a suggested reading list.

2021 marks the 500th anniversary of Albrecht Dürer’s year-long journey to the Low Countries from 1520 to 1521. Both the National Gallery in London (Spring 2021) Suermondt-Ludwig Museum in Aachen (Summer 2021) will hold Dürer exhibitions on that occasion.

Тепер доступний у новому виданні, цей щедро ілюстрований том спирається на найновіші дослідження, щоб представити захопливу нову інтерпретацію Альбрехта Дюрера, як людини, так і як художника.

Графки та малюнки Альбрехта Дюрера надихнули сотні художників як за його життя, так і після смерті. Однак його талант художника та колориста, а також його захоплення науковим світом не були широко оцінені.

Вплив Дюрера був як міжнародним, так і міжпоколінним — навіть Пікассо стверджував, що його надихав художник 16-го століття. Відтворена з приголомшливими деталями та включаючи ілюстрації найвідоміших гравюр та малюнків Дюрера, каталог-резонсе його картин та біографічне дослідження, ця книга представляє Дюрера для 21-го століття. Створивши більше автопортретів, ніж будь-який інший художник свого часу; масово просуваючи свої бестселери; навіть винайшовши власний логотип з монограмою, Альбрехт Дюрер був комерційно проникливим задовго до сучасного покоління саморекламних та фінансово підкованих художників.

Існує 55 збережених картин Дюрера, з яких 17 є предметом суперечок. Використовуючи наукові дослідження, ця книга розвіює всі суперечки, що призводить до остаточного каталогу картин. Спираючись на глибоке дослідження, ця книга розкриває правду про Дюрера та його мистецтво.

Погортати книгу Albrecht Durer: Catalogue of the Paintings

On the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's 95 Theses, this opulent book presents a colorful introduction to Renaissance art and history.

Featuring more than a hundred outstanding paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and treasures of the Age of the Reformation, this publication comprises masterpieces by Albrecht Durer, Lucas Cranach the Elder and Lucas Cranach the Younger, Hans Holbein the Elder and Hans Holbein the Younger, Matthias Grunewald, and Tilman Riemenschneider, among others. By placing these works in their historical context, this beautifully illustrated book uses art as a prism through which to consider the religious, social and political upheavals of the time.

The volume includes insightful texts that discuss pivotal subjects such as traditional imagery and devotion, Reformation and polemics, court life and culture, humanism and reality, as well as portraiture and representation. Biographies of the artists, an extensive bibliography and a glossary of central terms concerning the German Reformation make this a comprehensive study of a fascinating period in European art history.

The prints of darkness. The art, theory, and woodcut print revolution of Albrecht Dürer

A polymath of the German Renaissance, Albrecht Dürer (1471 - 1528) was a prolific artist, theorist, and writer whose works explored everything from religion to art theory to philosophy. His vast body of work includes altarpieces, portraits, self-portraits, watercolors, and books, but is most celebrated for its astonishing collection of woodcut prints, which transformed printmaking from an artisan practice into a whole new art form. 

Dürer's woodcuts astonish in scale as much as detail. Through works such as Apocalypse and the Triumphal Arch for Emperor Maximilian I, he created dense, meticulous compositions that were much larger, much more finely cut, and far more complex than any earlier woodcut efforts. With an ambitious tonal and dynamic range, he introduced a new level of conceptual, emotional, and spiritual intensity. His two major woodcut series on Christ's Passion named The Large Passion and The Small Passion after their size, are particularly remarkable for their vivid human treatment of the Christian narrative. In his copper engraving, Melancholia I, meanwhile, Dürer created a startling vision of emotional ennui, often cited as a defining early image of a depressive or melancholic state. 

Ever inquisitive, Dürer absorbed ideas not only from masters and fellow artists in Germany but also from Italy, while his own influence extended across Europe for generations to come. In this essential TASCHEN introduction, we explore this pioneering figure s complex practice, his omnivorous intellect, and the key works which shaped his enduring legacy.

Альбрехт Дюрер — выдающийся живописец, гравёр, график, крупнейший мастер ксилографии, один из величайших художников западноевропейского Ренессанса. Невероятная игра цветов, которая поначалу не впечатляла современников, стала общепризнанной классикой живописи, а его гравюры сразу же стали неотъемлемой частью художественного мира. Работающий над своими художественными трудами через призму магии и мистики, Дюрер был и знаменитым историком, исследователем искусства. В книге Норберта Вольфа представлено множество картин Альбрехта Дюрера, также вы узнаете историю становления живописца и подробный анализ творчества.

This exhibition catalog takes readers inside the world of early 16th-century Europe, where Maximilian I (1459–1519), known as the "Last Knight", helped launch the German Renaissance.

One of Maximilian’s most important legacies is the work created in his honor by some of the greatest artists of his time, most notably Albrecht Dürer. Today many of these works reside in the Albertina Museum in Vienna, and they are featured in this elegant volume.

In addition to works by Dürer, the book includes reproductions of the extraordinary "Triumphal Procession" of Albrecht Altdorfer and his workshop, and the monumental woodcut "Arch of Honor".

This book explores the artistic culture of Maximilian’s era, with numerous examples from the Albertina's own collection as well as painted portraits, exquisite illuminated manuscripts, precious sculptures, and splendid tapestries from some of the world’s leading museums. Brought together in this elegant volume, these works offer valuable insight into Maximilian’s public relations machinery.

The book also features scholarly articles devoted to Maximilian’s complex artistic projects that will become key to the literature on Emperor Maximilian and the art of his time.

This book is devoted to Albrecht Dürer’s early art and the circumstances of the young painter’s life that enabled his unique work.

Literature about Dürer fills library shelves. Does this mean everything has already been said about the artist? Far from it, according to the scholars at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and their international partners in the Early Dürer Project. Their essays deal with the core phenomena of Dürer’s early work, ranging from the artist’s biography and surroundings to the question of Dürer’s role as the archetype of the modern artist.

New sociological approaches allow us to interpret Dürer’s ‘ideal neighbourhood’ as a source of inspiration for the artist’s work, resituating Dürer in the artistic context of his time, at an exciting crossroad between the imitation of traditional painting and the self-conscious renewal of his profession.

Photographs of Dürer’s early work, many of which are new and published here for the first time, complete the publication, which will establish a new basis for a modern understanding of Germany’s most famous artist.

The Northern Renaissance in Europe was a period of rapid social and religious change. This is reflected in much of the art of the period, which is further characterised by a fascinating range of subject-matter, superb technical skill and an interest in capturing likeness with almost psychological precision. The same period also saw a great rise in the importance of works on paper, especially prints. This book discusses works by Albrecht Dürer and Hans Holbein two of the greatest masters of the Northern Renaissance together with a selection of paintings by Lucas Cranach. Encompassing portraiture, religion, mythology and allegory, these works are examined alongside others by such masters as Francois Clouet, Jan Gossaert and Joos van Cleve. Holbeins superlative drawings of members of the court of King Henry VIII can be seen side-by-side with finished paintings and miniatures of the same sitters; and this rich survey also includes illuminated manuscripts and early printed books.

Published to accompany the exhibition at the Groeninge Museum, Bruges, this volume celebrates and examines the tremendous influence the Flemish Primitives had on their eastern neighbours in Central Europe, from 1430 to 1530, focusing in particular on the pre-eminent Flemish and German masters of this period, Jan van Eyck and Albrecht Dürer.

In addition to well-known (and less well-known) works by Flemish Primitives, the book also reproduces a selection of artistic gems by less celebrated painters from Germany, Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland and Estonia.

Though most famous for his engravings, Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) was also a master painter and draftsman whose work exemplified the spirit of German art. Dürer's importance in the German High Renaissance was such that he can be considered to embody the movement entirely. His visits to Italy (where he studied most notably with Giovanni Bellini) had a profound effect on his artistic development and enabled him to combine both German and Italian influences in his work. In his later life, Dürer's passion for knowledge and progress led him to research and write on the subjects of art theory and mathematics, making him not only the greatest Northern European artist of his time but also one of its leading thinkers. This overview of Dürer's entire oeuvre - covering his oil, tempera, and watercolour paintings, copper and wood engravings, and his drawings and sketches - is the perfect introduction to his work.

Five full centuries lie between us and the life of Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). His ability to represent a subject with an absolute fidelity to every detail seemed miraculous to his contemporaries, and still astounds us now: we need only think of his water-colours of plants and animals.

In addition, Dürer was the first painter to devote such close attention to the art of the self-portrait. No artist before him painted as many as he. The works by Dürer collected in this book show the full range of this artist's unique genius.
