Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Durer
This little volume presents an account of the life of one of the noblest and most versatile artists of Ger many, with a passing glance at the activities of North ern Europe at the era of the Reformation. The weird and wonderful paintings of Diirer are herein concisely described, as well as the most famous and characteristic of his engravings and carvings; and his quaint literary works are enumerated. It has also been thought advisable to devote considerable space to details about Nuremberg, the scene of the artist's greatest labors; and to reproduce numerous extracts from his fascinating Venetian letters and Lowland journals.
