Description: The greatest artist of the northern Renaissance and one of the finest draftsmen in the history of Western art, Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) produced stunning works in all the graphic arts: painting, drawing, engraving, and woodcut. His painting style and use of color were powerfully influenced by Bellini and other artists whose work he studied during two trips to Venice. Six of Durer's best-known and most superbly detailed paintings are beautifully reproduced in this inexpensive card collection: Portrait of the Artist Holding an Erynganeum (1493), one of his earliest masterpieces; Self-Portrait (1498); the exquisite Portrait of a Young Venetian Woman (1505); and The Virgin and Child (1512) -- plus two of his most spectacular nature watercolors, rendered with almost photographic precision, Hare (1502) and Wing of a Roller (1512). These cards are perfect for sending messages or for adding to a personal collection.
