      <div class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">
        <h1>Albrecht Dürer (1471 -1528)</h1>
      </div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">We Perform Dürer is the greatest painter Germany has produced and the greatest engraver the world has ever seen.  He was also an extraordinary watercolorist.  He painted and engraved the way Sigmund Freud psychoanalyzed. No detail was insignificant. Every tiny thing had to be brought to the fore and prominently exposed.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_LargeTurfDetail.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Large Turf, detail</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_HairDetail.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Detail from self-portrait at the age of 28</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_KightDeathDevil.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Knight, Death and the Devil</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_VirginChildHoldingHalfPear1512.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Virgin With The Child Holding A Half Pear</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">With Dürer nothing is blurred or merely suggested. To the contrary he worked with an entomologist’s meticulous concern for accurate and precise description.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">At the same time he incorporated the Italian renditions of mass and volume and their sustaining foundation; the knowledge of anatomy and of the inner workings of the human body. Then, he rigorously subjected his compositions to the rules of perspective.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">The end result is a fusion of the linearity of the Northern school with the Italian illusionism of a third dimension.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_StAnneDetail.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">St. Anne, detail</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Like some other great artists, Dürer was precocious. He executed this superb self-portrait in silverpoint when he was only 13. It is his earliest surviving work.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_1484Silverpoint.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Self portrait at the age of 13, silverpoint, 1484</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Is it possible today that a new unknown Dürer would be discovered? Yes, but it would either be a painting, a drawing or a watercolor.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">It is nearly impossible that it would be a woodcut or an engraving. We know all of them through his writings and the books he illustrated.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">What happens periodically though, is that someone discovers an authentic Dürer print from the days of the early editions. These are not new in subject, they are just additional copies of his known prints. Nevertheless they are quite valuable.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">But a drawing or a watercolor could go unnoticed for a long time, as being his work, if it did not represent one his well known and most popular subjects.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Here are three examples:</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_VisionOfACloudBurst1525.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Vision Of A Cloud Burst, 1525</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_1489StJohnsChurch.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Church Of St. John, 1489</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_WillowMill1496.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Willow Mill, 1496</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">If it would not be for the signature, and some might not be signed, most art dealers and museum curators would never recognize Dürer here either:</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_ThreeMightyladiesfromLivonia1521.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Three Mighty Ladies Of Livonia, 1521</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">A good candidate for a new painting discovery might be an unfinished and unsigned work such as this one:</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_OldWomanWithABagOfCoins1507.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Old Woman With A Bag of Coins, unfinished, c.1507</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">A new discovery could also be of a duplicate that has been quickly rejected as a copy, when in fact it is an original.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">We have two of this portrait and both are considered authentic Dürer originals:</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_YoungWomanWithBoundHair1497.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Young Woman With Bound Hair, 1497<br>
        One of a pair of virtually identical originals</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">There are other possibilities yet, but to mention just one more, an unknown Dürer could be something so weird, that almost no art professionals would even think of the German master:</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/durer/Durer_BoyWithALongBeard1527.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Boy With A Long Beard, 1527</div>
