ALTDORFER, ALBRECHT (? 14801538)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 763 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALTDORFER, ALBRECHT (? 14801538) , German painter and engraver, was born at Regensburg (Ratisbon), where in 15o5 he was enrolled a burgher, and described as " twenty-five years old." Soon afterwards he is known to have been prosperous, and as city architect he erected fortifications and a public slaughter-
house
 . Altdorfer has been called the" Giorgione of the North." His paintings are remarkable for minute and careful finish, and for close study of nature. The most important of them are to be found in the Pinakothek at Munich. A representation of the battle of
Arbela
  (1529), included in that collection, is usually considered his
chief
 
work
 . His engravings on
wood
  and copper are very numerous, and rank next to those of Albrecht Durer. The most important collection is at the Berlin museum. Albrecht's brother, Erhard Altdorfer, was also a painter and engraver, and a pupil of Lucas Cranach.
