| Summary | "Albert Dürer" by T. Sturge Moore is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents an exploration of the life and significance of the renowned artist Albrecht Dürer, offering insights into his background, artistic contributions, and the intellectual and cultural milieu of his time. It aims to appreciate Dürer’s greatness not just through his works, but in relation to broader artistic and philosophical ideas. The opening of the book includes a preface and the first chapter, which establishes the context of Dürer's life and work. Moore acknowledges the influence of the late Arthur Strong on the project and outlines his intention to provide a thoughtful appreciation rather than exhaustive research. In the first chapter, he introduces the concept of "proportion," indicating its importance in understanding Dürer’s art, while also discussing the broader themes of reason, cultural values, and the interaction of art and religion. The narrative reflects a deep contemplation of how Dürer's works embody a harmonious relationship between beauty and technical skill, setting the tone for a comprehensive examination of the artist's legacy as the book unfolds.
