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 \u003cem\u003eBattle of Alexander at Issus\u003c\/em\u003e, dated 1529, was painted for Duke William IV of Bavaria.\u003cbr\u003eIn printmaking, Altdorfer was a rapid and original experimenter. Most of his prints were produced between about 1506 and 1525: woodcuts, such as the series \u003cem\u003eThe Fall and Redemption of Humanity\u003c\/em\u003e, and small engravings of extraordinary refinement, which bring him close to the so-called German Little Masters. This body of work also includes the \u003cem\u003eBeautiful Mary of Regensburg\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54271924961627,"sku":null,"price":320.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/8110\/3766\/files\/ALTDORFERWOODCUT.jpg?v=1791458250","url":"https:\/\/www.elenasalamon.com\/en\/products\/altdorfer-albrecht-il-trionfo-di-massimiliano-quarto-foglio-con-lo-sbandieratore-1517-1518","provider":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
