For Him, It Was In The Details; The Art Of Success: Albrecht Durer fused old and new styles to bring us Realism.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)
Byline: DOUG TSURUOKA
Albrecht Durer's worlds were colliding.
The Protestant Reformation and the turmoil it triggered between Protestants and Catholics in Germany had sparked the clash. On one side, Durer, one of the world's great artistic geniuses, felt the Gothic tug of his native Germany with its heavy stress on religion.
On the other, he was confronted with a new Renaissance belief in human dignity, and its quest for an individual approach to faith and life.
Rather than favor one view over the other, Durer chose the harder path -- unity.
Durer (1471-1528) decided to fuse both together as a single theme in his work. In the process, he created a brilliant array of paintings, woodcuts and engravings that were unrivaled for detail and precision and helped make him the greatest German artist of the Renaissance.
Durer wanted to depict his subjects in a way no one else had done. So he chose to interpret biblical themes with a realism that was unlike any of the religious art that came before it in Germany.
