Dürer in Berlin
The Gemäldegalerie holds several significant Dürer panels, including the Portrait of Hieronymus Holzschuher — a merchant and city councillor of Nuremberg, painted in 1526, two years before Dürer's death. It is one of the most penetrating portraits of the Northern Renaissance: the sitter's gaze is direct and slightly suspicious, the grey hair and beard rendered with an almost uncomfortable precision.
Berlin's early German collection in the Gemäldegalerie is comprehensive, and seeing Dürer alongside Cranach and Grünewald — his German contemporaries — clarifies his position within the tradition he was both working in and transforming.

About the artist
Albrecht Dürer
German · Northern Renaissance · 1471–1528
Dürer was the leading figure of the Northern Renaissance and the first artist north of the Alps to fully engage with Italian Renaissance theory and ideals. Born in Nuremberg, he also travelled to Venice and the Netherlands, and was celebrated across Europe as much for his prints and engravings as his paintings.
