description: Five full centuries lie between us and the life of Albrecht D﻿﻿﻿ürer (1471-1528). His ability to represent a subject with an absolute fidelity to every detail seemed miraculous to his contemporaries, and still astounds us now: we need only think of his watercolours of plants and animals. In addition, D﻿﻿﻿ürer was the first painter to devote such close attention to the art of the self-portrait. No artist before him painted as many as he. The works by D﻿﻿﻿ürer collected in this book show the full range of this artist s unique genius.
