Description

Translated with just a touch of the archaic to enhance its period flavor, this collection of Durer's private letters, journals and formal writings renders the cream of Durer's literary effort. The reader will be fascinated by this warm and vivid portrait of a man who was not only one of the world's supreme artists but, as this book reveals, a true pioneer on the frontiers of human knowledge. Long out of print until this edition published in 1958, the letters, autobiographical sketches, diary fragments, poems, and technical studies in many fields contained herein, have served generations of biographers and anthologists, as well as the general art-loving public.
