" What is the beauty, however, that I know nit." (Dürer)
Of the many art books I've read me this splendid volume by Norbert Wolf is most important. This is due to together, that's my favorite painter Albrecht Dürer and I by the beauty and quality of the book'm just overwhelmed. The book is protected by a fine slipcase. The cover shows Albrecht Durer's "Self-portrait in a fur coat," I had the opportunity to have a lot of time in Munich at the Alte Pinakothek to admire. Albrecht Dürer (21.05.1471-04.06.1528) was a handsome man with great artistic skills. The gifted German painter from Nuremberg was also a designer, engraver and art theorist, he was an intellectual painter and so therefore also be expected on many of his works of art.

In the first pages, you may see, to both sides in Figure revisions of the woodcut "The Horsemen of the Apocalypse" to 1497/98, the watercolor "Roller wing" to deepen in 1500 or 1512, and in the "Portrait of a Venetian Woman", 1506, and Dürer's famous watercolor "Hare" to . enjoy Durer's "Self Portrait as a Nude" (1500-1505), I have the original on display in the Castle Museum in Weimar, the first impression of acting in terms of his artistic skills before they can read the contents.
The book is divided into:
-Preface-Introduction
-teaching and years of travel
-The signature of the genius
-"... me how to freeze the sun "
-between duty and choice
masterpieces of the late years
-Theorist
- "From the glory of his art have met all the earth"
catalog of the paintings obtained
literature.
It is impossible for me all works of art that were photographed in the book to mention at this point. In the chapter "Teaching and wandering years include his parents, Albrecht Dürer and Barbara to see. His father was a goldsmith. Dürer was in 1485 in the goldsmith's workshop of his father. At his explicit request, he gave it to Michael 1486-68 Wohlgemut into teaching, which he portrayed in 1516. The image is shown on page 35. Dürer was technically in very Wohlgemut versatile form, not least the knowledge he acquired in the late Gothic form good. The young Nuremberg was made familiar with the Dutch art and learned the work of the most important in his time German engraver, Martin Schongauer know.
Easter 1490 went to the budding painter and graphic artist on tour. First goal of his trip was Colmar, where Schongauer lived. On his route there is no more accurate information, but we know that Basel was an important stop on his journey. Dürer left Basel in 1493. In Strasbourg, he has stayed on afterwards. Here also is a self-portrait (p.51) emerged, which I like very much.
In Nuremberg, he married in 1494 Agnes Frey, the daughter of the coppersmith, and musician Hans Frey. This did not prevent him, in the fall of that year to go to Italy. The outbreak of plague in Nuremberg said to have been the subject (see: p. 53). The topographical watercolors, it is possible to follow the route very well. In the book you have regarding this opportunity to see two views of Innsbruck learn.
Dürer learned to know the brothers Bellini in Venice, which became his role models in the sequence. When he finally was in Nuremberg, he opened his own workshop. I am thrilled that you Dürer's "The Great Lawn "several times in the book shows. On a double page can be this wonderful watercolor even look close and see how meticulous the artist is taken during times of grasses. All the shades of green leaves and delicate roots form from a piece of eternity.
The woodcut "Rhinocerus" from the year 1515 is incidentally also photographed on both sides. Very painted imaginative.
We read in the aftermath of the apocalypse. It is the earliest illustrated book that an artist designed at your own risk. Dürer chose the woodcut as a medium for biblical cycles and single sheets with religious, mythological and allegorical Subjects (see: S.81ff). Figuratively to understand: "The Holy Family with the spirit level" (p.82), "John saw the seven candlesticks" "The Martyrdom of John the Evangelist" (p.85) (p.87), "John before God the Father and the elders "(p.89)," The Horsemen of the Apocalypse "(p.91)," The opening of the fifth and sixth seal "(p.93)," four angels, the winds sojourning / The sealing of the elect "(p. 95), "The seven trumpet angels" (p.97), "The angel struggle" (p.99), "John, devouring the book / The strong angel" (p.101), "The sun woman and the seven-headed dragon" ( p.103), Michael's fight with the dragon "(p.105)," The Beast with the lamb horns "(p.107)," Canticle of the elect in heaven "/ Adoration of the Lamb (p.109)," The Babylonian woman "(p.111) and" The angel with the key to the Abyss "(S .113).
is also interesting copper engraving "Four naked women" (p.121), I consider the Durer emphatic yes to physical love. The little copper engraving "The Witch" (p.123) is the ancient Venus turn into a "German" weather fury (see: p. 121)...
were Nonetheless Madonna on a large number of Dürer's paintings, the individual portrait won at the beginning and end of Dürer's creative life meaning, the painter sought the ideal beauty fathom since 1500 and lower. He became a major advocate of a "divine" harmony and proportions of certain aesthetic. He should, however, have lost the artistic and practical applicability never out of sight (see: S 137).
In late summer 1505 was raging again in Nuremberg, the plague, this time set off Dürer to Italy and returned in January 1507th He describes his experiences in ten (received) letters, is the content of which is in the book (p.138) briefly informed. In Nuremberg, he acquired - already recognized and well off - the inherent right to the house of his late father in 1502 and 1509 the law of succession in the late "Dürer house."
Dürer was one of the "Humanist Round Table" and created works in close cooperation with the humanists for this.
It reads, inter alia, the representation of the human body. In his "female nude" (p. 158/159) of this is still a sexual activity, which changes from about 1500th From then on, the Sexus domnestiziert with him (see: p. 161).
A theme in the book are Dürer's emperors. The Portrait of Maximilian I, I saw at an exhibition in Wetzlar in the original is photographed in the book on both sides. The engravings "The Rider (Knight, Death and Devil" (p.175) and his "Melancholia I" (p.178) will be discussed in more detail and we find out that has called Vasari in his Lives of Dürer as a "universal man". to make
about his great talent portraits, one reads from page 192 and can delve into the Others "Male portrait in front of a green background," 1497/98.
One learns under the heading "theorists" Understanding his observations in terms of beauty. He is said to have persistently searched for the ideal beauty, but said that it is not a mathematical formula should be understood as the only norm and maximum beauty, but as a criterion of a relative, conditioned beauty (see: 221 S). Finally, this relativity articulated in 26 types of proportion. Dürer wrote a textbook of Painting the Four Books on Human Proportion ", which came to market in 1527. Particulars given on pages 211 ff A year later he died.
The catalog of the resulting paintings (from p. 224) can be seen not only the images of Dürer's works such as "The Portrait of a Young Venetian Woman, 1505 (p. 251) enjoy, but also experiences and also to know about this plants. I am intrigued by the statements in the "Jabach altar" that I see in the book the first time in its entirety, although my single wing from different museums are well known and I use the "Two Musicians" (outside of a leaf) that are found in Cologne can admire the Wallraf-Richards Museum, may prefer.
I regret that I can not go into the many-intensive works of art in the book. All deserve to be examined. Dürer is and remains for me the most important German painters. The book is a source of beauty that Dürer would have liked certain.
Highly recommended.
