More about the book

Albrecht Dürer was a prominent German artist known for his self-portraits that reflect his societal status and the intellectual value of visual arts during a time when they were often seen as mere crafts. He revolutionized both woodcut and copper engraving techniques and wrote extensively on perspective in painting. Influenced by the Roman architect Vitruvius, Dürer approached mathematics with a systematic mindset, distinguishing between exact and approximate solutions. The book also touches on the contributions of art historian Willy Pastor, enhancing the context of Dürer's influence.
