Albrecht Altdorfer: The Pioneer of Landscape Painting in the German Renaissance
Albrecht Altdorfer (1480 - 1538) was a key figure of the German Renaissance and the founder of the Danube School in southern Germany. A contemporary of Albrecht Dürer, Altdorfer was not only a painter but also an architect, engraver, sculptor, and designer of woodcuts. His works include religious and mythological representations, but he is most celebrated for his stunning landscapes, which were not just backdrops for stories, but independent expressions of the beauty of nature. Altdorfer was the first artist to elevate the landscape as a central subject in painting, inspiring future generations
