Albrecht Durer after 1520

This engraving is a portrait of German artist Albrecht Dürer by an anonymous artist. It depicts Dürer in profile, his face and beard meticulously rendered with a sharp, detailed style typical of Northern Renaissance art. The artist's signature is inscribed in a circular frame around Dürer's head, "ALBERTUS DÜRERVS NORICVS PICTO[R] EMINENTISS," confirming his identity. The image exemplifies the high regard held for Dürer as a "most distinguished painter" during his lifetime. This engraving, created after 1520, is a testament to the enduring influence and fame of this influential artist.
