Description
Literature about Du?rer fills library shelves. Does this mean everything has already been said about the artist? Far from it, according to the scholars at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and their international partners in the Early Du?rer Project. This book deals with the core phenomena of Du?rer's early work, ranging from the artist's biography and surroundings to the question of Du?rer's role as the archetype of the modern artist. New sociological approaches allow us to interpret Du?rer's `ideal neighbourhood' as a source of inspiration for the artist's work, resituating Du?rer in the artistic context of his time, at an exciting crossroad between the imitation of traditional painting and the self-conscious renewal of his profession. Photographs of Du?rer's early work, many of which are new and published here for the first time, complete the publication, which will establish a new basis for a modern understanding of Germany's most famous artist.
