Durer and the Renaissance

• 1962 ----- b & w ----- 13 min ----- 16mm
• Albrecht Durer, the famous German painter, holds a pivotal point in connecting the artistic development in Italy with that in Northern Europe. In his own work and life, his passage from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance can be observed. Through Durer's complex personality his Gothic inheritance became fused with the Renaissance. If any great movement can be said to be the work of any one individual, the Northern Renaissance could be called "The Age of Albrecht Durer."
• Topics: (Artists, Europe, Painting)
