Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), a German painter, printmaker, mathematician, and theorist, whose prints established his reputation across Europe when he was still in his twenties, has been conventionally regarded as the greatest artist of the Northern Renaissance ever since. His vast body of work includes altarpieces and religious works, numerous portraits and self-portraits, and copper engravings.
