Artist Biography: Painter and printmaker. Of Hungarian descent. Son of a goldsmith. Third of eighteen children, most of whom died in infancy. Generally regarded as the greatest German Renaissance artist. Vast body of work includes altarpieces and religious works, portraits and self-portraits, and copper engravings. His woodcuts, such as the "Apocalypse" series (1498), have a more Gothic flavor than his other work. ~~Reference: Panofsky, Erwin. Albrecht D¸rer. Princeton: 1945.~Bartsch, Adam von.
