Albrecht Durer

Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a German painter and printmaker widely regarded as the greatest artist of the German Renaissance. His vast body of work includes religious pieces, portraits, self-portraits, and groundbreaking woodcuts and copper engravings such as *The Apocalypse* and *Adam and Eve* [1][2]. He revolutionized printmaking by elevating it to an independent art form and was also a writer who published treatises on mathematics and human proportions [2][6].
