Albrecht Du¨rer's material world booklet Summary: Albrecht Dürer’s material world Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a leading figure of Europe’s artistic revolution in the Renaissance, particularly in the new medium of prints. He was a meticulous observer and recorder of the natural world, deeply interested in artisan manufacture and frequently depicted the objects that he encountered. As the first major exhibition of the Whitworth’s outstanding collection of Dürer’s prints in over half a century, Albrecht Dürer’s material world uses groundbreaking research to reveal how the artist applied his ingenuity and skill to represent the many manufactured and natural objects that filled his art.
