Dürer rose to fame as an unparalleled master of woodcuts and engravings, elevating these techniques to new heights of complexity and expressiveness. His works are characterized by exquisite precision of line, a masterful handling of light and shadow, and profound philosophical depth.
Albrecht Dürer’s legacy holds a place of honor in the collections of the world’s leading museums, including the Albertina in Vienna, the Louvre in Paris, the British Museum in London, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. His influence on later generations of artists is difficult to overstate — from contemporaries like Lucas Cranach the Elder to masters of later periods, all the way to the present day.
Dürer’s art remains not only one of the most brilliant manifestations of the Northern Renaissance, but also a major milestone in the broader history of European art. Among his most renowned works are the engraving series Apocalypse, the engravings Melencolia I and Knight, Death, and the Devil, and the paintings Self-Portrait in a Fur-Collared Robe and Adam and Eve.
