Biography: Albrecht Durer was born in 1471 in Nuremberg, in the Duchy of Bavaria, in modern day Germany. He died in 1528 at the age of 56 in Nuremberg. His father was a goldsmith from Hungary. Initially studying to be a goldsmith, like his father, Durer apprenticed at the age of 15 to
Michael Wolgemut. Besides painting, he also studied the printmaking techniques of drypoint, woodcut, and engraving. He traveled widely, first through Germany and the Low Countries, then later to Italy, where he was influenced by Giovanni Bellini and Andrea Mantegna, and made the acquaintance of Raphael, with whom he exchanged drawings. Durer acquired his own printing press around 1500, selling his works at local fairs, with the help of his wife, or on his travels. Other German artists who were contemporaneous with Durer include Hans Holbein the Elder, Lucas Cranach the Elder, and Hans Baldung Grien. Check out our
