{"product_id":"albrecht-durer-the-four-apostles-st-mark-and-st-paul-fine-art-print","title":"Albrecht Dürer — The Four Apostles: St Mark and St Paul | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo apostles stand shoulder to shoulder against a dark ground. At the back, a bearded man with dark curly hair looks off to the side, mouth open; in front, a bald, long-bearded man in a broad pale green-white mantle turns his head with a stern sideways glance. A hand holds a closed book at chest height, another a scroll, and a third grips a sword hilt. A strip of small script runs along the lower edge, and the date 1526 sits above the painter's monogram at the upper right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDürer painted the Four Apostles as panels like the wings of an altarpiece, and the Alte Pinakothek notes that four passages from Luther's Bible along the lower edge call on worldly rulers to heed Scripture and beware false prophets. With this message, shortly before his death, he urged the council of his native Nuremberg to keep to the path of the Reformation. The composition shows the influence of Bellini's Frari triptych.\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.
