Finally, Dürer discusses the Delian Problem and moves on to the ' construzione legittima ', a method of depicting a cube in two dimensions through linear perspective.

However, in 1513 and 1514 Dürer created his three most famous engravings: Knight, Death, and the Devil ( 1513, probably based on Erasmus's treatise Enichiridion militis Christiani ), St. Jerome in his Study, and the much-debated Melencolia I ( both 1514 ).

The delaying of the engraving of St Philip, completed in 1523 but not distributed until 1526, may have been due to Dürer's uneasiness with images of Saints ; even if Dürer was not an iconoclast, in his last years he evaluated and questioned the role of art in religion.

Albrecht Dürer (; 21 May 1471 – 6 April 1528 ) was a German painter, printmaker, engraver, mathematician, and theorist from Nuremberg.

Dürer was born on 21 May 1471, third child and second son of his parents, who had between fourteen and eighteen children.

His father, Albrecht Dürer the Elder, was a successful goldsmith, originally named Ajtósi, who in 1455 had moved to Nuremberg from Ajtós, near Gyula in Hungary.

Albrecht Dürer the Younger later changed " Türer ", his father's diction of the family's surname, to " Dürer ", to adapt to the local Nuremberg dialect.

Albrecht Dürer the Elder married Barbara Holper, the daughter of his master, when he himself became a master in 1467.

Dürer may well have worked on some of these, as the work on the project began while he was with Wolgemut.

Because Dürer left autobiographical writings and became very famous by his mid-twenties, his life is well documented by several sources.

After a few years of school, Dürer started to learn the basics of goldsmithing and drawing from his father.

After completing his term of apprenticeship, Dürer followed the common German custom of taking Wanderjahre — in effect gap year — in which the apprentice learned skills from artists in other areas ; Dürer was to spend about four years away.

It is unclear where Dürer travelled in the intervening period, though it is likely that he went to Frankfurt and the Netherlands.

In Colmar, Dürer was welcomed by Schongauer's brothers, the goldsmiths Caspar and Paul and the painter Ludwig.

In 1493 Dürer went to Strasbourg, where he would have experienced the sculpture of Nikolaus Gerhaert.

In early 1492 Dürer travelled to Basel to stay with another brother of Martin Schongauer, the goldsmith Georg.

Very soon after his return to Nuremberg, on 7 July 1494, at the age of 23, Dürer was married to Agnes Frey following an arrangement made during his absence.

Within three months of his marriage, Dürer left for Italy, alone, perhaps stimulated by an outbreak of plague in Nuremberg.

Through Wolgemut's tutelage, Dürer had learned how to make prints in drypoint and design woodcuts in the German style, based on the works of Martin Schongauer and the Housebook Master.

Dürer probably also visited Padua and Mantua on this trip.

It is now thought unlikely that Dürer cut any of the woodblocks himself ; this task would have been performed by a specialist craftsman.

Dürer either drew his design directly onto the woodblock itself, or glued a paper drawing to the block.

The Seven Sorrows Polyptych, commissioned by Frederick III of Saxony in 1496, was executed by Dürer and his assistants c. 1500.

With regard to the 16th century, the Prado has four works by Dürer: a Self-portrait, Adam and Eve, and Portrait of an Unknown Man, all of which came to the Alcázar in Madrid during the reign of Philip IV.
