Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) was probably the greatest graphical artist of the Northern Renaissance. He is the first to have elevated the self-portrait to a high art form, and was known for his fascination with animals, which form the subjects of many of his graphical works. He reveled in portraying men of learning and/or high stature as well as peasants, believing that portraits of the latter could be as instructive as those of the former. His marriage to his wife Agnes was childless and banal, apparently because Durer was too preoccupied with intellectual matters to be much interested in romantic pursuits.
In this book he has given highly aesthetic description of the journeys he had experienced.
