Albrecht Durer Portrait of the Artist's Mother oil painting


Portrait of the Artist's Mother
1514 Charcoal drawing on paper, 421 x 303 mm Staatliche Museen, Berlin Two months before his mother's death, D?rer recorded her features in this famous drawing. The extreme naturalism of the portrait is a reference to the hard life the depicted woman had endured, for she had suffered from various illnesses and had given birth to 18 children, only three of which survived. While in the Middle Ages ugliness was equated solely with evil or death, here its function is mainly as a private record.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Portrait of the Artist's Mother Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait

Albrecht Durer Willibald Pirckheimer oil painting


Willibald Pirckheimer
1503 Charcoal drawing, 282 x 208 mm Staatliche Museen, Berlin In the portrait drawing of Willibald Pirckheimer, seen in profile looking to the left, D?rer was making use of a silver point drawing and "refined his friend's features without flattering him," as Panofsky stated. The famous humanist was a close friend and intimate of D?rer's. It is possible that D?rer was stimulated to produce this profile portrait by ancient imperial coins, though it is also possible that the drawing was used as a pattern by a medal maker.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Willibald Pirckheimer Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait
