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.

Planning your visit to New York
New York's major museums are spread across Manhattan — the Metropolitan Museum and Guggenheim are on the Upper East Side (4/5/6 subway), while MoMA is in Midtown and the Whitney is in the Meatpacking District. The Metropolitan suggests a donation rather than charging a fixed fee for New York State residents; out-of-state visitors pay the listed price. Allow a full day for the Met; the other collections are more manageable in a half-day.
