Bibliography
Winzinger 79
Abrecht Altdorfer (Regensburg, c. 1480-1538)
was a painter, printmaker, and architect who played a leading role in the so-called Danube School, the movement that placed landscape at the center of artistic representation in southern Germany during the first decades of the sixteenth century. The son of Ulrich, a painter and miniaturist, he became a citizen of Regensburg in 1505 and remained there for almost his entire life, joining the city council and eventually serving as the city’s architect. His most celebrated work, the Battle of Alexander at Issus, dated 1529, was painted for Duke William IV of Bavaria.
In printmaking, Altdorfer was a rapid and original experimenter. Most of his prints were produced between about 1506 and 1525: woodcuts, such as the series The Fall and Redemption of Humanity, and small engravings of extraordinary refinement, which bring him close to the so-called German Little Masters. This body of work also includes the Beautiful Mary of Regensburg, a devotional image that Altdorfer rendered around 1519-1520 in woodcuts, one of them printed in color from six blocks, and in a tiny engraving. Around 1520 he also produced several landscape etchings, among the earliest European prints in which the woods, rocks, and sky do not serve as the backdrop to a narrative but are the subject of the image itself.
