Beside him a grey-bearded man with a furrowed brow holds a large golden key and reads over his shoulder. Their sandalled feet stand on a pale grey floor against a black ground, with the date 1526 and a monogram at upper left and a strip of lettered script along the bottom edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Alte Pinakothek says the panels showing three apostles and Mark the Evangelist are like the wings of an altarpiece, their figures modelled on the four human temperaments. Four quotations from the Luther Bible along the lower edge warn worldly rulers to heed the words of the Bible and beware false prophets; the museum says Dürer meant them to encourage Nuremberg's council, shortly before his death, to keep to the Reformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: painting on linden panel, 1526; Alte Pinakothek, Munich.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlbrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a German painter, printmaker and theorist of the Northern Renaissance, born in Nuremberg, the son of a goldsmith. He trained in the workshop of Michael Wolgemut and travelled twice to Italy, bringing Italian ideas of proportion and perspective north of the Alps. His woodcut series, above all the Apocalypse of 1498, and his engravings, among them Knight, Death and the Devil, Saint Jerome in His Study and Melencolia I, raised printmaking to the level of painting and circulated across Europe in his lifetime. He also made watercolours of plants and animals from close observation, painted portraits and altarpieces, and published treatises on measurement and human proportion. His prints are held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the British Museum and the Albertina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
