[edit] Information

Discover Albrecht Duerer, a German Renaissance artist known for his engravings, who imposed a new social status on the artist. His abundant work tells us about Europe in the middle of a transformation. Taking twelve of his self-portraits as a common thread, this documentary traces the flamboyant career of Albrecht Duerer (1471-1528), a Renaissance genius who forged a new figure, that of the artist himself. Duerer, one of the greatest painters of the Renaissance, established a new status as an artist on the threshold of the 15th and 16th centuries, which brought him independence and recognition. His twelve self-portraits, which have survived to this day, represent a valuable legacy. This legacy testifies to a social upheaval in Northern Europe. Emerging at the end of the Middle Ages, in a Europe ravaged by epidemics, political turbulence and religious changes, the invention of the book was barely fifty years old when Duerer took his first steps on the artistic scene. Born in 1471 in Nuremberg, in the heart of the Holy Roman Empire, under excellent guidance, as evidenced by the astral theme he would later have painted, Albrecht Duerer distinguished himself by his gifted talent. At the age of 13, he drew his first self-portrait using a convex mirror, correcting his distorted vision. At the age of 15, he dared to leave his father's goldsmith's workshop to join that of the painter Michael Wolgemut. The young Duerer was passionate about engraving, a technique born fifty years earlier, inspired a wide amount of his works. Several long stays in Basel and especially in Venice, where he studied perspective and the masters of the Quattrocento, as well as a beautiful marriage, which he paid very little attention to, allowed the artist to assert himself. As a genius entrepreneur, he would soon find himself at the center of innovation in the field of engraving, the ultimate medium for the circulation of works at the time. Especially since he "protected" his art from those of his imitators by attaching his famous AD monogram, a real logotype before its time.
