Albrecht Dürer’s paintings are celebrated for their meticulous detail, vibrant colour and masterful use of perspective. Influenced by both Northern European and Italian Renaissance traditions, his works blend realism with symbolic depth. Portraits such as Self-Portrait at Twenty-Eight showcase his technical precision and psychological insight, while religious compositions like Adoration of the Magi demonstrate his complex spatial arrangements and rich colour palettes. Dürer’s innovative approach to composition, light and human expression helped define the Northern Renaissance, leaving a lasting impact on European painting.
