Albrecht Durer
Today we are going to take a quick look at one of the Artists that we are studying. Take a special look at the shadow that is cast from the form of the bunny as that is what you will be painting today. Also do you notice his unique signature? Use the pattern that he is using to make your own rendition...you can use your sketch book for this. Be sure to show me!
I would like you to take special note of where he was born, as you will be showing me when we do our map drills.
Here are some interesting facts about Albrecht Durer.
The central figure in the German Renaissance was Albrecht Dürer, a painter and graphic artist, one of the most outstanding personalities in the history of art.
Albrecht Dürer was born on 21 May, 1471 in Nuremberg, south Germany, son of a prosperous goldsmith Albrecht Dürer the Elder (1427-1502), and Barbara Holper. His early training was in drawing, woodcutting and printing, which were to remain his main and favorite media throughout his artistic career. 1486 through 1489 he was apprenticed in the workshop of Nuremberg artist Michael Wolgemut.
He traveled much. In 1490 he left his native city for four years, probably initially visiting Cologne and possibly the Netherlands. He traveled to Italy twice in 1494-95 and 1505-07, visited Venice and Bologna, perhaps Florence and Rome.
