🎨 Mind Map "Albrecht Dürer – Master of Lines and Thought"

The first superstar of German art history

Albrecht Dürer was far more than a talented painter – he was a Renaissance polymath: printmaker, art theorist, mathematician, and a keen observer of his time. With his woodcuts and engravings, he revolutionized printmaking and made a name for himself across Europe – long before the internet age, solely through the power of his art.

His works combine depth and technique, science and beauty – and his famous "Self-Portrait in a Fur-Trimmed Coat" is considered an icon of artistic emancipation: A painter as a brand.
