Join art historian Victoria Martino for a fascinating five-week lecture series, celebrating the 550th birthday of the most important artist of the Northern Renaissance, Albrecht Dürer. Arguably the greatest German artist of all time, Dürer's oeuvre includes more than 1,000 drawings, 100 engravings and etchings, nearly 250 woodcuts, 100 paintings, and 40 watercolors. This extraordinarily prolific artist was also an influential theorist, producing three treatises in nine volumes on subjects of Measurement, Human Proportion, and Fortification. Renowned throughout Europe before he reached the age of 20, due to the widespread sales of his celebrated woodcuts, this polymath was universally compared to Apelles, Phidias, and Zeuxis, the greatest artists of classical antiquity.
