Albrecht Dürer

German Renaissance painter, printmaker and theorist Albrecht Dürer was born on this day in 1471. Dürer established his reputation and influence across Europe very early on in his life due to his high-quality woodcut prints, and is credited with bringing the Renaissance to Northern Europe. He travelled to Italy a number of times, and was well-acquainted with many of the major Italian artists of his time, including Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci. In 1512, he was appointed court painter to Roman Emperor Maximilian I. This work, called Melencolia I, is one of the most well-known 'master engravings'. Despite being rife with symbolism, it has more or less eluded interpretation. The winged figure is thought to be an embodiment of melancholy, and around her we can see an hourglass, weighing scales, and other tools, as well as a magic square and astrological features. Competing theories suggest it alludes to alchemy, astrology, theology or even philosophy. We'd love to know: what do you see when you look at it? What do you think it could be about? Engraving on laid paper, 1514.
