The “Leonardo of the North” was more than just a gifted artist. He was a writer, clever businessman, and apt teacher of students, and a man passionately interested in the theology of Martin Luther. He did more than just create works of art for wealthy patrons; he also took advantage of the new technology of printing in order to bring his illustrations of the Bible to a wide audience of ordinary people. The author helps us to understand Durer by showing us his childhood, family, friends, hopes and fears.
