1471 -1528 · Dürer in the collections of Alte Pinakothek
At Alte Pinakothek, Dürer appears a monumental painter and intimate observer: apostles, Madonnas, portraits and ancient stories unite rigor of drawing, human presence and spiritual depth.
The Alte Pinakothek in Munich preserves an essential set of paintings by Albrecht Dürer. The Four Apostles, created in 1526 and offered to the council of Nuremberg, occupy a central place: John, Peter, Mark and Paul take on a monumental stature in a climate marked by the Reformation. Lucretius' Suicide confronts the painter with ancient history, while Madonnas and portraits show constant attention to the face, gesture and materials. Born in Nuremberg in 1471, first trained in his father's goldsmith's studio, Dürer transformed painting, drawing and prints through his travels, his study of proportions and his dialogue with the Italian Renaissance. The selection "Dürer to the Alte Pinakothek" notably compares The Four Apostles: Saints Mark and Paul and The Four Apostles: Saints John and Peter. Its reading favors light.
In Munich, Dürer gives the panel the strength of a monument: each face thinks, each hand acts and each material asserts its presence.
