Know the Artist: Albrecht Dürer

  • The adventurous Albrecht Durer (b. Nuremberg, Germany, 1471-1528) was a man of many firsts. A pioneer of the self-portrait and the still-life, he so brilliantly broke boundaries throughout his career, and was duly celebrated as the German superstar of the Renaissance.
    This is Several Circles, where we tell the stories of extraordinary artists from across history and the present day. We believe art history content should be accessible-free of charge and impenetrable jargon, but abundant in fascinating facts, illuminating analyses, and entertaining anecdotes.
    Each episode is written and hosted by Rachel, an art journalist-turned-copywriter at The Met, and produced by Jason, a New York City art technician. The fuzzy feline superstars are Jimmy (big and bushy) and Tallulah (small with thumbs).
    We started this channel to indulge our fascination with what compels an artist to create the way they do, and we intend to grow it into a vast and celebratory archive of the weird and wonderful eccentrics who constitute the art history continuum.

    'Childless for reasons unknown'
    Historians have speculated that Dürer may have been gay or bisexual, and in a relationship with author Willibald Prickheimer, who he also made a portrait of.
    (Also, see his 1496 work 'the bath house)'

    If you get to go to Nuremberg, the old city, you will see a contemporary statue of a giant cast bronze Hare emerging from it's den and cruising all of it's children and all other smaller creatures in it's path. I believe it dates to the 1960's when students and artists alike were feeling pretty dammed repressed and overshadowed by the dominance of art created hundreds of years before they had their voice

    Much learnt. Durer's magnitude immeasurable but eloquently received via your S.C. commentary. Ta! Post-Durer, ironic that Germany took a lone direction, separating artistically from the treads of Italian/French portraiture etc. Why?

    • @TheArtTourist
      @TheArtTourist  2 года назад +1

      Many thanks! I wonder whether it's because of Durer - he seems to have prompted a new kind of German nationalism in art and literature, especially come the 18th and 19th centuries with Goethe, Friedrich, etc.
