Description: Albrecht Durer's (1471-1528) studies of nature include some of the most delightful drawings and watercolours ever made. This book brings together a selection of these renowned studies, and shows how Durer used preparatory works, with his workshop, to build compositions. It also discusses the rich symbolism of the flowers used in representations of the Virgin in the Garden, one of the most beautiful subjects in the history of art.
