Albrecht Dürer

Albrecht Dürer (/ˈdʊərər, ˈdjʊərər/;German: [ˈalbʁɛçt ˈdyːʁɐ]; 21 May 1471 – 6 April 1528) was a painter, printmaker and theorist of the German Renaissance. Born in Nuremberg, Dürer established his reputation and influence across Europe when he was still in his twenties, due to his high-quality woodcut prints. He was in communication with the major Italian artists of his time, including Raphael, Giovanni Bellini and Leonardo da Vinci, and from 1512 he was patronized by emperor Maximilian I.

His vast body of work includes engravings, his preferred technique in his later prints, altarpieces, portraits and self-portraits, watercolours and books. The woodcuts, such as the Apocalypse series (1498), retain a more Gothic flavour than the rest of his work. His well-known engravings include the 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 also mark him as one of the first European landscape artists, while his ambitious woodcuts revolutionized the potential of that medium.

The wonderful world of watercolor

Montrose Press 24 May 2018

As you probably know, I paint both watercolor and oil paintings. Two completely different mediums. They are both handled in opposite manners. With oil paints, one starts with laying in the darks and then adding the lights on top of that. With watercolor, it is just the reverse, paint the lights first and then the darks. Watercolor is one of the oldest mediums. One of the most famous dates back to 1502, by Albrecht Durer ... I appreciate it ... ....
