DesignMeetsHistory | Albrecht Dürer
For five centuries, Albrecht Dürer has been recognised as one of the greatest artists of his time and far beyond. To this day, he epitomises the Renaissance north of the Alps, which he proudly celebrates as the "revival of art". His paintings and engravings show the Northern interest in detail and Renaissance efforts to represent the bodies of humans and animals accurately. Dürer was also keenly aware of self-branding, apparent in his distinct signature.
