Albrecht started a series of wood cuts of The Life of the Virgin. These were a series of legendary stories about the virgin. Albrecht made his wood cuts and figures move easily in the third dimension Albrecht's Life of the Virgin series agreed with his growing concern for geometric form. In his figures and wood cuts you can see the perfect work done with a ruler and compass. You can also see his admiration with the Platonic notion of the human figure.
Platonic notion is the human body drawn with mathematical formulas.
In his painting The Fall of Man Albrecht went through a hard time trying to achieve a geometrical figure of two beings known as man and woman. After many years of practicing geometrical figures Albrecht learned how to paint several strands of hair with just one stroke. Giovanni Bellini, one of Albrecht's admirer asked him to make a present of one of his brushes he draws the strands of hair with. Bellini was surprised when he saw the brush. Bellini said that the bristles must be separated or divided to draw several strands of hair at once.
