BRIGITTE HEINZL
The greatest of German artists, Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) was also the channel through which the forms and ideas of the Italian Renaissance reached northern Europe. During his travels in Italy he met Giovanni Bellini, and absorbed the influences of Leonardo^ and Mantegna also. Combining what he had learned in Italy with his native German individualism, he enriched virtually every branch of painting and the graphic arts: oil painting, watercolour, gouache, drawing, woodcut, and copper engraving. In all his large output he combined a profound and wide-ranging interest in human nature with powerful expression, vivid imagery and technical. refinement. In woodcut and engraving he has few rivals and no superiors. Both by his own example and by the training he bestowed on his workmen he greatly extended the scope and raised the standard of accomplishment in these media - though, in all he did, his genius was at once too universal and too individual for him to leave any successor.
