Excerpt from The Paintings and Drawings of Albrecht Dürer IN a former number of the Portfolio (november 1894) an attempt was made to lay before the reader a short sketch of the life of Albrecht Diirer of Nuremberg, and to give a descriptive, and to some extent explanatory, account of his engravings on copper and on wood. The limits of space contained in the volumes of this series made it necessary to confine the contents of the number in question to the engraved work of Albrecht Diirer, and to pass over, with little more than a mere allusion, that very large and important portion of his life-work which has survived to posterity in his paintings and drawings.

Excerpt from Drawings of Albrecht Dürer The waywardness of genius, which never progresses on regular lines, must be called to account for this, and probably there is another explanation. We can clearly trace the gradual decay of Diirer's superb artistic powers particularly in his engravings on copper, in his water-colours and wash-drawings, and in his oilpaintings. These techniques are surface methods, and they provide for the possibility of vulgarly realistic, flat, and uninspired work. Perhaps it is only men possessing particularly robust feeling for style who refuse to allow themselves to be seduced into trifling prettiness. But take some technique of an altogether conventional character, such as wood- -engraving or pen- -drawing, and the danger is reduced. Neatness or verisimilitude cannot be achieved by means of these rugged techniques; they do not lay themselves open to trickery, and a man like Durer is not likely to abuse them. Whenever he gives himself up to reflection he may perhaps lose sight of the true principles of art, but when he handles the working tools, of which he may almost be called the discoverer, and certainly the perfector, he cannot misapply them. The St. Paul and the Hangerséerg are pen-and-ink drawings; the Temptation of St. Antnony is executed in the same wonderful medium as the Green Passion. Durer with pen in hand remains the great master. This work, whether early or late, shows no signs of a foolish desire to imitate nature as closely as may be, no hankering after elegance instead of strength.

Excerpt from The Engravings of Albrecht Durer It will probably always remain an impossible task to fix an exact date for the invention of engraving on copper or wood, even when limited to the function of giving off an impression with ink or some similar pigment. Two factors must, however, be always taken into consideration - namely, the ink and paper necessary for the making of prints. It was not until the fifteenth century that paper began to be manufactured from linen rags. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Durer There is a portrait of him which shows us just how he looked when he was a schoolboy. Beneath it are written these words, which were added years later This I have drawn from myself from the looking-glass, in the year 1484, when I was still a child. - Albrecht Durer. The boy of thirteen must have possessed a considerable knowledge of drawing, for there is certainly great charm and close study in the deli cate poise of the head and serious look of the eyes. And when I had learnt reading and writing, my father took me from school and taught me the goldsmith's work, Diirer says. This is all we know of his training in the goldsmith's art. He probably worked with his father for two years, and then, as Botticelli had said twenty years before, My inclina tion carried me more towards painting than to the goldsmith's work.

Excerpt from Literary Remains of Albrecht Durer The present volume, then, is not the result of new research; nor is it an abstract resuming historical and critical discoveries on its subject up to date. Of this latter there are several already before the British public; the former, as I said, it was not for me to attempt. Nor do I feel my book to be altogether even what it was intended to be but am conscious that too much space has been given to the enumeration of Durer's principal works and the events of his life without either being made exhaustive. Still, I hope that even these parts may be found profitable by those who are not already familiar with the subjects with which they deal. To those for whom these subjects are well known, I should like to point out that Parts I. And IV. And very much of Part III. Embody my chief intention; that chapter 1 of Part I. Finds a further illustration in division iii. Of chapter 4, Part II. And that division vi., chapter 1, Part II., should be taken as prefatory to chapter I, Part IV.
