{"product_id":"9783791383453","title":"Albrecht Dürer","description":"\r\nNow available in a new edition, this lavishly illustrated volume draws on the latest research to present an exciting new interpretation of Albrecht Du¨rer, both as a man and as an artist. Albrecht Du¨rer’s prints and drawings have inspired hundreds of artists, both during his life and after his death. Yet his talent as a painter and colorist, and his enthusiasm for the scientific world have not been widely appreciated. Du¨rer’s influence was both international and intergenerational—indeed Picasso claimed to have been inspired by the 16th-century artist. Reproduced in stunning detail and including illustrations of Du¨rer’s most famous prints and drawings, a catalog raisonne´ of his paintings, and biographical research, this book presents a Du¨rer for the 21st century. Producing more self-portraits than any other artist of his day; mass marketing his best-selling prints; even inventing his own monogram logo; Albrecht Du¨rer was commercially astute long before today’s generation of self-promoting and financially-savvy artists. There are 55 extant Du¨rer paintings, of which 17 are in dispute. Using scientific research, this book puts all arguments to bed resulting in the definitive catalog raisonne´ of the paintings. Drawing on in-depth research, this book reveals the truth behind Du¨rer and his art.\r\n","brand":"Norbert Wolf","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":48438105014484,"sku":"9783791383453","price":79.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_25938cc2-fd27-4e45-8e30-503b1bf485b3.jpg?v=1786140272","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9783791383453","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
