Portrait of a Young Man
|
|
1521 Charcoal drawing on paper, 378 x 211 mm British Museum, London One of the portraits drawn sweepingly with charcoal during the journey to the Netherlands is this portrait of a young man whose identity has not yet been established. The scene is tightly framed, the bust of the portrayed man is moved right into the foreground, causing the wide cap to be cut off by the edges of the picture. His fashionable hat shows off to advantage the character head with the broad cheek bones and sensuous lips, which are depicted with great precision and delicacy.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Portrait of a Young Man Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait

Albrecht Durer:
b.May 21, 1471, Imperial Free City of Nernberg [Germany]
d.April 6, 1528, Nernberg
Albrecht Durer (May 21, 1471 ?C April 6, 1528) was a German painter, printmaker and theorist from Nuremberg. His still-famous works include the Apocalypse woodcuts, Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513), Saint Jerome in his Study (1514) and Melencolia I (1514), which has been the subject of extensive analysis and interpretation. His watercolours mark him as one of the first European landscape artists, while his ambitious woodcuts revolutionized the potential of that medium. D??rer introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, have secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatise which involve principles of mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions.
His prints established his reputation across Europe when he was still in his twenties, and he has been conventionally regarded as the greatest artist of the Renaissance in Northern Europe ever since. .
