Summary: "Dürer" by M. F. Sweetser is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life and work of Albert Dürer, one of the most significant artists of the German Renaissance, who is celebrated for his fantastic paintings and engravings as well as his profound contributions to art theory. Sweetser seeks to provide a comprehensive yet accessible biography that highlights not only the artist's renowned works but also contextualizes them within the broader artistic and cultural movements of his time. At the start of the volume, the author introduces Nuremberg as a vibrant hub of culture and commerce during Dürer's formative years. It describes Dürer's family background, his early artistic education under Michael Wohlgemuth, and the characteristics of the city that shaped his career, including its flourishing art scene and the innovations of local craftsmen. Sweetser emphasizes the socio-economic dynamics of Nuremberg, enriching the reader’s understanding of how these elements influenced Dürer's development and the eventual emergence of his unique style in a period marked by the onset of the Reformation and the quest for new artistic expressions.
