Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) ist der beste und bedeutendste deutsche Künstler aller Zeiten. Seine Malweise ist in ihrer Feinheit ebenso unübertroffen wie seine Kupferstiche. Aber nicht nur in der handwerklichen Ausführung, sondern auch in der Bildkomposition zeigt sich Dürer als ein Genie, der gleichberechtigt neben den Größten der Kunstgeschichte – Leonardo und Michelangelo – steht. Dürers Meisterschaft wird im vorliegenden Kunstband offenkundig sichtbar. In ausgezeichneter Druckqualität werden die Hauptwerke des Künstlers im Großformat wiedergegeben. Der Band kann durch seine herausragende Bildwiedergabe zum Studium der großartigen Malweise Dürers anregen und die künstlerische Vollkommenheit des grafischen Werks veranschaulichen.
