The Adoration of the Holy Trinity (Landauer Altar)
This work was commissioned by the Nuremberg metal trader Matthäus Landauer. Also known as the Landauer Altarpiece, it was ordered for the
chapel of the Twelve-Brothers House, which he endowed for a dozen impoverished artisans.
In the centre of the painted panel at the top is the Trinity. God the Father is shown as emperor, holding Christ on the Cross and surmounted by the
dove of the Holy Ghost. Around the figure of God are two rings of angels. Below them, to the right, are Old Testament figures and, to the left,
followers of Christ bearing palm branches. Nearer the base of the picture are the slightly larger figures of the living, led by the Pope (with a blue
tiara) and the Emperor (with a golden crown). The grey-haired figure of Matthäus Landauer, the donor, is depicted on the left, being welcomed into
the throng by the outstretched hand of a cardinal.
The landscape at the bottom of the panel stretches into the far distance. A lone figure stands on the land - the artist, who has depicted the earthly
community being reunited with the realm of heaven. His hand rests on a panel which is inscribed: `Albrecht Dürer of Nuremberg made this 1511
years after the Virgin.'
38. DÜRER, Albrecht
Albrecht Durer, a German painter and printmaker.
Durer is generally regarded as the greatest Northern Renaissance artist. His famous paintings
have been the subject of extensive analysis and interpretation. His watercolours mark him as one
of the first European landscape artists, while his ambitious woodcuts revolutionized the potential
of that medium.
Durer's introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists
and German humanists, have secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the
Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical works which involve principles of
mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions.
The quality and wide range of his works and themes, both in terms of content and formal
aspects, are astonishing. Though his paintings were normally produced as the result of a
commission - his two main areas of focus were portrait painting and the creation of altar pieces
and devotional pictures - Durer enriched them with unusual pictorial solutions and adapted them
to new functions.
After his death, Durer remained one of the most highly regarded of artists for centuries,
representing the process of transition from the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance in Germany.
