The Genius of the Northern Renaissance
Albrecht Dürer is known to many as a great German engraver and painter. However, Dürer was also one of the first art theorists — he wrote several works addressed primarily to artists, and advocated their comprehensive development and education.
He was also the first European artist to write an autobiography. Dürer is one of the founders of comparative anthropometry. In addition, the master was engaged in the development of the theory of fortification and cartography – geographical and stellar, leaving a significant contribution to these sciences.
In 1500, at the age of 28, he was one of the first European artists to paint a full-face self-portrait, where he appears in the image of Christ.
Albrecht Dürer was born on May 21st.
