Albrecht Drer The Landscape Water Colours

Durer’s water-colour landscapes are unprecedented and unsurpassed; Unprecedented as the first examples in Western art of landscape painted not as a study for some larger work but from delight in the subject matter alone.

Unsurpassed for the range of style and interpretation they encompass – from the minuteness of Dutch landscapes to the experiments in light and form of the Impressionists and the atmospheric abstraction of the great Chinese and Japanese masters. In this book the thirty-two surviving landscapes have been published together for the first time superbly printed to reproduce the astoundingly subtle colouring.
