Albrecht Dürer
German, Nuremberg 1471-1528
Label TextThrough contact with Italian art—widely distributed prints, and later travel in Italy—Dürer developed a style that is a fascinating hybrid of northern and southern aesthetic qualities. This early example introduces a classical-style nude, foreign to German art of the time.
