Summary: "Records of Journeys to Venice and the Low Countries" by Albrecht Dürer is a collection of letters and memoirs written during the late 15th to early 16th centuries. This historical account provides a unique glimpse into the travels of the renowned Northern Renaissance artist, Albrecht Dürer, as he navigates the vibrant cities of Venice and the Low Countries, detailing his experiences, observations, and the sociopolitical climate of his time. At the start of the memoir, Dürer writes to his friend Wilibald Pirkheimer from Venice, sharing his thoughts about the challenges of purchasing goods and the nature of the people he encounters.
