About this book
Albrecht Dürer’s paintings, prints and writings take shape against the busy workshops and merchant wealth of Nuremberg in M. F. Sweetser’s biography. The opening surveys the city’s printers, metalworkers and builders before turning to the artist’s early training. Sweetser gives space to the places and practical crafts around Dürer, making the book an account of an artistic community as well as an individual life.
Letters from Venice and journals from the Netherlands bring Dürer’s own voice into the narrative. A passage about his mother records family hardship, religious devotion and grief, while an account of his correspondence with Raphael describes their exchange of drawings. The discussion of early etchings also considers the plates and metals behind the finished images.
