Neuware -Albrecht Dürer ist das unbestrittene Genie der nordischen Renaissance, ein Visionär, der sich nicht auf ein einzelnes Medium beschränkte. Ob Malerei oder Druckgrafik, Zeichnung oder Kunsttheorie - sie alle beherrschte er mit überwältigendem Sachverstand. Zu Lebzeiten berühmt für seine Porträts von Patriziern und Adeligen, war es Dürer, der mit seinen brillanten Zeichnungen und Aquarellen die einfache Skizze in eine eigenständige Kunstform verwandelte. Werke wie der Feldhase sind Wunder der Beobachtung. Sie fangen das Leben mit einer Präzision und Empfindsamkeit ein, die bis heute begeistern.Die Reichsstadt Nürnberg, die damals ihre Blütezeit erlebte, war Dürers Zuhause. Doch seine Reisen brachten ihn in Berührung mit dem Humanismus der Renaissance, den Farben Venedigs und den Idealen der klassischen Schönheit. All diese Einflüsse sog er auf und interpretierte sie mit der Präzision des Nordeuropäers neu. Als Hofkünstler Kaiser Maximilians I. und Vertrauter von Humanisten wie Erasmus von Rotterdam bewegte er sich wie selbstverständlich unter den bedeutenden Größen seiner Zeit. Seine Betrachtungen zu Maß und Proportion machten ihn zu einem der großen Denker Europas. Dennoch hörte er nie auf, Werke von erstaunlicher Intimität hervorzubringen - vom unerschrockenen Selbstporträt über ausgefeilte Drucke bis hin zur sorgfältig beobachteten Studie.Mit allen bekannten Gemälden - davon etliche neu fotografiert - und fast 500 Zeichnungen fängt der Band die Vielfalt des Dürer'schen Genies ein. Zwischen monumentalen Altarbildern und intimen Porträts, feinfühligen Umgebungsstudien und gewagten Experimenten zeigt sich ein Künstler seiner Zeit, der zugleich seiner Zeit voraus war, ein Neuerer, dessen Blick auch heute noch aktuell erscheint. Viel mehr als ein Handbuch ist dieser Band die Hommage an einen Universalgelehrten, der weiterhin verblüfft und inspiriert.TASCHEN GmbH, Hohenzollernring 53, 50672 Köln 798 pp. Englisch.…

Albrecht Dürer is the undisputed genius of the Northern Renaissance, a visionary unbound by a single medium. He carved a career spanning painting, printmaking, drawing, and art theory, mastering each with dazzling skill. Famous in his own lifetime for his portraits of princes and patricians, his luminous drawings and watercolors transformed the sketch into an art form in its own right: works such as Young Hare stand as marvels of observation, capturing life with a precision and sensitivity that still amaze today.
He was native to the bustling city of Nuremberg, but his travels brought him face-to-face with Renaissance humanism, Venetian color, and classical ideals of beauty. These he absorbed and reimagined with northern precision. As court artist to Maximilian I, and confidant of humanists like Erasmus, he moved easily among the great minds of his age, his musings on measurement and proportion establishing him as one of Europe’s great thinkers. But he never stopped producing work of startling intimacy, from unflinching self-portraits and elaborate prints to meticulously observed studies of nature.
Featuring every known painting―many reproduced with brand-new photography―and nearly 500 drawings, this graceful volume captures the sweep of Dürer’s genius. From monumental altarpieces to intimate portraits, from delicate studies of the world around him to bold experiments, it reveals an artist both of his time and ahead of it, an innovator whose vision still feels urgent today. More than a compendium, it is a celebration of a polymath who continues to astonish and inspire.
