I love Dürer he was a strongly individualistic artist, but also detailed and tender in his beautiful water colours. The Hare is one of my favorites. He was truly gifted in many mediums, engravings, paintings, wood cuts...but always the eternal Dürer.
i dont know much about art, but the amount of things AD was first in is simply amazing. I got a tattoo of his sig on my arm after loving his religious works. now knowing his history is fascinating
I saw some of Dürer's drypoint etchings in a museum, they're really inspiring. They're not just technically good, they have a lot of personality too. Plus his monogram is cool, wish I had one.
If you go to the "old city" in Nuremberg, you will see a rather large bronze representing a big Rabbit crushing out other life forms under it. A batch of young artists in the 1990's did it as a satire of the way Drurer's work obliterated opportunities of any other work or any other artists to have a place in the culture.all other work and crushed it. Remember that Vien was the home of the Secessionists who's motto was "every time must have it's art and every art must have it's voice."
As a Durer´s admirer since my early youth, when I see or hear a new program or movie-documentary about him, I remain very cautious "cela va sans dire". But it´s just fair to admit the quality of this documentary flies high as a kite - good, moderate, incisive. Thank you.
Durer always fascinates. .his innovation and vision was so modern and he truly represents the Renaissance . In his later writings, he seemed disappointed that he didn't accomplish much more. I think he would be satisfied with his legacy and he should be.
The Italian Renaissance happened in the 1400's and was based on contact with the Arabs. The Northern Renaissance happened in the 1500's as these ideas spread northward.
Guy Souriandt::: Don't forget the Greek-speaking Byzantines who also preserved elements of classical culture and brought them to Italy when they fled various waves of iconoclasm within their own culture and who fled the greatest iconoclast of all, Islam, when the Ottoman Turks captured Constantinople in 1453.
“Nobody can understand the greatness of the thirteenth century, who does not realize that it was a great growth of new things produced by a living thing. In that sense it was really bolder and freer than what we call the renaissance, which was a resurrection of old things discovered in a dead thing... and the Gospel according to St. Thomas... was a new thrust like the titanic thrust of Gothic engineering; and its strength was in a God that makes all things new.” ― G.K. Chesterton, Saint Thomas Aquinas
Dürer was one of the first artists - perhaps the first - who started to paint nature and landscapes for their own sake, no longer together with biblical motives or saints. He was one of those who discovered the value of nature in its own right and as an object in art. And he came from my own hometown Nürnberg. Probably he spoke the same dialect as I do, just in an older version. I would have understood him. There were more famous artists in Nürnberg at that time, but they were more specialized like Veit Stoss who made art by wood carving or Peter Vischer who worked with bronze casting.
BTW Nürnberg around 1500 AD was one of Germanys largest cities with a huge economic and cultural impact. The city had special privileges as the town where every new king was expected to gather his first Royal or Imperial Diet at a time when no permanent such congregation existed.
I would feel proud of that too if I was from Nurnberg. This is what I love about Durer's legacy too - his inclination to make natural subjects the focus of his art (something he had in common with da Vinci) and how he represents one of the earliest beginnings of botanical/zoological illustration in that way. Actually, many of his other personality traits I find quite repellent, but I still think of Das große Rasenstück as one of my all-time favourite works of art.
A brilliant documentary about Albrecht Dürer one of my favourite artists. Thank you mr. Koerner for also drawing our attention to Dürers watercolours, when I look at the one of Segonzano in Valle di Cembra I realise where Cézanne got his inspiration. It is truly an impressionist work. These watercolours are not mentioned in the books I own about Dürer nor have I ever seen one in an exhibition about Dürer.
I love to view Great Artist and copy as much as I can. Being a believer that the creator of all things namely God himself is in all of us. Durer's work shows a greater depth of genius than most but I feel we all have some of the divine artistic flare. Great works of art come from those relaxed into living and don't need to worry about the price of paint, with the incentive to create. Maybe God's self-portrait would be a complete conglomerate of all things combined.
True - Albrecht Dürer opened the gate. And not always french, italian, spanish and dutch art lovers admit that. And to me, as meconnaiseur I may be, his 4 Apostles and the also 4 horsemen of Apocalipse are the key.
52:33 It is about time to have this notion that melancholia is inherent to artists. Too much emphasis is put on the dark side of artists and some of them are depicted in a way that their problems overshadow their work. I never read or watched anything about Van Gogh that approaches only his art. His biography is more known than his paintings, drawings and sketches. Some people go to far trying to apply psychological theories on his work. It is quite disgusting.
I totally agree, I came to this video hoping they'd discuss his books but this dude talked about him like he's his psychotherapist. This is why no1 understands why artsist from this era were important. Its not only because they could 'draw good' but it was their understanding and approach to drawing with scientific thinking. But this is rarely talked about.
People - including artists - eagerly buy into the crazy/tortured/self-destructive/neurotic/irresponsible artist myth. The general public wants to think that creativity is a form of mental illness, that creative people must pay a price for being talented. For their part, some artists - mostly of lesser ability - use the Crazy Artist cliche to excuse bad behavior, lack of discipline, arrogance, immoderate habits - and lack of success. 😐
Absolutely disagree. That's because the artist personality and their works are not two separated entities but intrinsically connected. You can't avoid speaking about Van Gogh's life during an analysis of his paintings, otherwise you will miss the point of Van Gogh revolutionary approach to art, which is called expressionism for a reason.
@@fulippuannaghiti1965 You're accepting the idea - a cliche, actually - that someone as unique and extreme as Van Gogh represents the norm, that all creative people are expected to be tragic, self-destructive, misunderstood, and doomed. It's bad enough how the public buys into this myth. It's worse when Artists use it to justify being "just like Van Gogh."
@@TheStockwell I've never stated in my comment that I'm accepting the cliché that every artist has to be somehow extreme, I just wrote that the artist's works cannot be detached by the artist personality, moreover artists have different personalities. Van Gogh happened to have that personality, Cezanne another, so David and so on and on. Many artists like Vermeer had a quite calm life; besides the artist temperament is clearly visible through his paintings - every single stroke, the palette choice, the composition and the overall mood is related to the artist's personality, therefore we can't avoid speaking about the painting without taking into consideration the painter's character.
Oh Albrecht, Albrecht Dürer, Du reitest durch die Länder Oh Albrecht, Albrecht Dürer, Du Held mit Deiner Band Gefürchtet von allen Bösen, geliebt von allen Guten, Guten Du Dürer Albrecht, Du.
Trust the BBC to weave Hitler into a documentary about Duerer, a medieval painter. Also faking a German accent when reading letters by Duerer is a ridiculous gimmick.
george george: I could not agree more. The "german" voice, reading Duerer letters sounds like: "I'm expert, we will come and cut off..." ("Big Lebowski") And I noticed a few phrases more too. What a pity.
I love these art historians that fancy themselves so smart and read way more into a painting that is there ... if you haven't spoken with the artist then don't assume you know what the artist meant.
davart - The thing is, a doctor of art history will have a great deal more insight into the cultural mores than non-historians. These show up in their art as iconography, and once one learns to recognize and understand the iconography pictorial meanings become much clearer. It's their education - it's what they do.
(but, sometimes things are not always clear 500 years later, and so scholars will disagree with each other about the iconography. That's why things like provenance are so important.)
amsterdamsel exactly, historians examine the time period and records about the artist to sum up that those factors circumstantially affect why and how the painting was made. I'm pretty painters back then didn't tell the hierarchy at the time that they just painted this just because, even the hidden ones. Remember the hidden paintings were hidden for a reason, too
Albrecht Dürer was as good as any "Messiah", or any other historical figure. His impact was as great as Martin Luther, or Jonannes Gutenberg. One of his greatest admirers was Leonardo Da Vinci. He was a revolutionary, an innovator, and a worker of miracles. His nation stands with him.
There are elements of this documentary which I feel in some ways paint broad critical strokes over the figure of Durer which do not feel entirely supported academically. It seems as if Mr. Koerner's study of this artist is more personal than it is an academic documentary.
For anyone doing this project now/in the future- I put his book on the end of the world (around 36 min in) as he talks a lot about how this influenced his fame, and the printing process (towards the end) as the first two, with his monogram being the last ingredient and the only one he actually calls an ingredient. Those are just my best guesses, but I figured I'd offer them. Good luck!!
@Bryce Thibodeaux yes, but Durer took his branding further Multiple prints. He sued someone for copying his prints. The resulting compromise was that the fakes could continue to be produced as long as they did not have the Durer monogram on them.
Durer was as much a mystic as Steiner which is little known. His Melencolia is filled with hidden maths and geometry which the scholars have yet to discover. Search the Durer New Sacred Geometry video which I can’t link to here

10:23 his nude self portrait is not shown in its entirety, his private parts are cut out in the documentary. What? In 2015? It is on the sides unfinished but not there.... a weird self censorship BBC.
4:10 "This huge bronze is the world's first public statue of a painter. It was designed in 1828 ..." Oh really! Da Vinci and Michelangelo had public statues of themselves in Florence well before that, I think.
One of the best art documentaries I have ever seen but you are mispronouncing the"cht" at the end of his first name. It is not sh* as in the English *shook
It's a fancy (latinized) form of describing himself as originating from the city of Nuremberg. In fact there was never a roman town called Noricum. Instead of that there was a roman province named Noricum which contained ruthly today's Austria an Slovenia, which are situated hundreds of miles to the south of Nuremberg which was never a part of the roman empire. But in the middle ages it became fashionable to name cities in a latin form.

Art seems to be rare back then. We now know from Instagram that artistic abilities are not so rare. How much peasant Art was destroyed and lost during these older times where those without access would never be heard of because they didn’t have the power to spread themselves but those who did would crush their antagonistic rivals. I believe lots of Art has been destroyed.
What you see on Instagram is the effect of the popularization of visual arts, same fate applied to music some years ago. Internet democratization and accessibility have definitely destroyed the arts, which before were reserved for the most talented individuals, after a long selection and years of theoretical and practical studies.
There seem to be quite a number of assumptions presented with a lot of confidence, but not supported by theories, facts or evaluation of experts. The documentary, however insightful and helpful, appears as insincere. Or maybe it's just TV and it's tiresome drive for docudrama appeal?
I agree. You see it in so many of these documentaries especially on discovery ch and nat geo. For example they present information on the Sun and how it works and whats inside it although we have never been there yet they present in such a way as if it is fact.
C Jack. Based on science you can say a lot of how the universe works. So, yes they can act as if they have been there. They have been to the moon so why not to the sun.
Probably a little of all. It's likely that a lot of ink has been spilled in academic journals backing up a lot of this. You can't expect an academic history in a one hour documentary.
I suspected he possessed a fair amount of arrogance, then I considered that he may have actually understood "the Original Teachings of Yeshua/Jesus", the understanding of "...the body is a temple of God", the realization that all are Soul Energies, of and from the Source, the Creator, "God". I would prefer to think of him in this way, as Higher Minded, Matured through in an Authentic Harmony, and free to express himself without the Lower Mind 's Ego, which actually is our nemesis. Once harnessed, we are free to Explore and Discover, with full understanding of our worth. It's the lack of fear, fear based thoughts, that separates the arrogance from the freely expressing. Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian USA.
@@gavinreid8351 not what I mean lol... Im not stupid. The first sentence in this documentary claims Durer's global reach but his art only reached european nations. the video mentions India but one can only assume his reach in India was only in the european descended elite fair skin ruling class of India at the time. But regardless his art only reached a small fraction of the people and art makers of the world. To claim the he had a global reach back then when his art only really mattered to europeans, completely disregards the existence of most of the world and focuses our understanding of art in the view of europeans.
@@Danigca74 "The video mentions India but one can only assume his reach in India was only in the european descended elite fair skin ruling class of India at the time" So you make an assumption and then talk about it like it is fact? You're basically saying that you don't know if it reached any non-white people but you still call it racist and eurocentric.
Don't think he painted himself as Christ. The 1500 self portrait is not symmetrical. The eyes are different, clearly. His hair darker because he is a dark room. It is pure conjecture. Interesting though that he took the egotistical road to self-absorption and the phycological backlash it will produce. Unlike Bach, a genius that was steady and solid. The former the hero of art teachers and movie goers. The ladder to less self-concerned and more graceful approach.
hahahaha.rubbish.Northern Europe seems to have an inferiority complex when it comes to art because they know that Southern Europe has been the center of art in the West since ancient times.Italy and France have the best museums,collections, paintings,sculptures, frescoes.Italy is the heart of Renaissance,you cant deny that.Much of the collections in british or german museums were result of theft and looting,specially in the case of egyptian and near east art and artifacts.Northern European contribution to art is small compared to the Mediterranean since ancient Greece and Rome
True, the Mediterranean people laid down the foundation and fundamentals...but the Northern Europeans took it a step further, pushing away from catholicism and just rebelling with every style. Skulls, alcohol, parties, family, psychology, dark scenes, demons, self portraits and just doing their own thing. It's dumb to compare the arts by countries that all fed off one another. Both parts of Europe were revolutionary.
He seemed to think it was dyed 2 colors; I have similar strawberry- blonde hair--blonder on the outside where the sun bleaches, darker underneath. He also thought AD dyed it for the portrait; I disagree, my hair looks almost brown in winter, blonde in summer. Maybe he himself longed for such hair lol. Smoking the good green worx too ;)
in 1493AD Durer wrote "i'm sexy and i know it"... Greatest melody ever wrote in that period.
Just remaining alive at the time was a blessing, an indication, a sign from God that you had a great job to do, for all of humanity, for us all, forever...

Very well made documentary. I'm not into art but I like the medevial times.
this is an excellent presentation thank you M
Very interesting... now .. understanding the monument to Albrecht Durer
So he thought so highly of himself that he painted himself transfigured and godlike, entranced in introspection. I wish I had that kind of confidence.
How about adding closed captioning UA-cam? I can't believe this video doesn't have it.
I was doing a project in school about renaissance artists and I was wondering who should I do and so I did durer
There's just one Renaissance: the Glorious European Renaissance.
The Italian Renaissance happened in the 1400's and was based on contact with the Arabs. The Northern Renaissance happened in the 1500's as these ideas spread northward.
Guy Souriandt::: Don't forget the Greek-speaking Byzantines who also preserved elements of classical culture and brought them to Italy when they fled various waves of iconoclasm within their own culture and who fled the greatest iconoclast of all, Islam, when the Ottoman Turks captured Constantinople in 1453.
There is the Indian renaissance too
“Nobody can understand the greatness of the thirteenth century, who does not realize that it was a great growth of new things produced by a living thing. In that sense it was really bolder and freer than what we call the renaissance, which was a resurrection of old things discovered in a dead thing... and the Gospel according to St. Thomas... was a new thrust like the titanic thrust of Gothic engineering; and its strength was in a God that makes all things new.”

@@soulscanner66 the very name is a clue. The Italian renaissance in art was a revival of classic ,mainly Roman and Greek art.
this doc presentation is "Brilliant" in all it's aspects, we all have been treated "very well"
Dürer was one of the first artists - perhaps the first - who started to paint nature and landscapes for their own sake, no longer together with biblical motives or saints.

Probably he spoke the same dialect as I do, just in an older version. I would have understood him.

LOL I was expecting it to be a tongue or a finger. I'm a terrible person.
Art seems to be rare back then. We now know from Instagram that artistic abilities are not so rare. How much peasant Art was destroyed and lost during these older times where those without access would never be heard of because they didn’t have the power to spread themselves but those who did would crush their antagonistic rivals. I believe lots of Art has been destroyed.
Artistic abilities are rare. You are getting your "knowledge" from Instagram? Sad. Very sad.
What you see on Instagram is the effect of the popularization of visual arts, same fate applied to music some years ago. Internet democratization and accessibility have definitely destroyed the arts, which before were reserved for the most talented individuals, after a long selection and years of theoretical and practical studies.
@@humanbeing1675 very well said.
56:44 - start of TELEDURERBIES! :D
ya could've done a voice over instead of competing with the loud machinery...
durer did not invent the idea of fame and posterity.. (44.29) especially not through letter writing (Ancient texts.. Pliny the younger??)
It's like Warhol on steroids, 450 years earlier...
There seem to be quite a number of assumptions presented with a lot of confidence, but not supported by theories, facts or evaluation of experts. The documentary, however insightful and helpful, appears as insincere. Or maybe it's just TV and it's tiresome drive for docudrama appeal?
I agree. You see it in so many of these documentaries especially on discovery ch and nat geo. For example they present information on the Sun and how it works and whats inside it although we have never been there yet they present in such a way as if it is fact.
For example?
C Jack.
Based on science you can say a lot of how the universe works. So, yes they can act as if they have been there. They have been to the moon so why not to the sun.
Per-Ole Lind Narrator sure loves to take license on what the artists' intents were. Very flourished!
Probably a little of all. It's likely that a lot of ink has been spilled in academic journals backing up a lot of this. You can't expect an academic history in a one hour documentary.
He almost said Albert Einstein instead of Albert Durer at 58:10 lol
Germans always believe they are more Divine...
Is the narrator American? He has an American accent.
His father was a'n Austrian refugee before WWII.
wow aphex
whats the name of the song?

Very shalow
this guys vocal fry is ruining this doc
Mr. Mans Man he's painfully Canadian
Mr. Mans Man his suit doesn't fit him very well
Who is Alberrrch diurerr ?
This comment is proof of how superficial a medium UA-cam comments is.
I've been hearing that term "vocal fry" for years, I still have no idea what it means.
This dude was the original Andy Warhol.
I suspected he possessed a fair amount of arrogance, then I considered that he may have actually understood "the Original Teachings of Yeshua/Jesus", the understanding of "...the body is a temple of God", the realization that all are Soul Energies, of and from the Source, the Creator, "God".
I would prefer to think of him in this way, as Higher Minded, Matured through in an Authentic Harmony, and free to express himself without the Lower Mind 's Ego, which actually is our nemesis. Once harnessed, we are free to Explore and Discover, with full understanding of our worth.
It's the lack of fear, fear based thoughts, that separates the arrogance from the freely expressing.

These documentaries are always eurocentric and a lil racist... good info on Durer tho.
It's about European art. That's why is shows Europe.
@@gavinreid8351 not what I mean lol... Im not stupid. The first sentence in this documentary claims Durer's global reach but his art only reached european nations. the video mentions India but one can only assume his reach in India was only in the european descended elite fair skin ruling class of India at the time. But regardless his art only reached a small fraction of the people and art makers of the world. To claim the he had a global reach back then when his art only really mattered to europeans, completely disregards the existence of most of the world and focuses our understanding of art in the view of europeans.
@@Danigca74 "The video mentions India but one can only assume his reach in India was only in the european descended elite fair skin ruling class of India at the time"
So you make an assumption and then talk about it like it is fact? You're basically saying that you don't know if it reached any non-white people but you still call it racist and eurocentric.
A documentary about an european artist is eurocentric? Europe shaped the modern world and you are simply an idiot.
Bullocks!
This narrator gives me anxiety! Sounds like he's angry and secretly hates anything German.
More psychobabble from yet another art "authority".
Don't think he painted himself as Christ. The 1500 self portrait is not symmetrical. The eyes are different, clearly. His hair darker because he is a dark room. It is pure conjecture. Interesting though that he took the egotistical road to self-absorption and the phycological backlash it will produce. Unlike Bach, a genius that was steady and solid. The former the hero of art teachers and movie goers. The ladder to less self-concerned and more graceful approach.
😂whatever you say crazy guy
Was Durer homesexual?
8:32 wtf dude....creepy
hahahaha.rubbish.Northern Europe seems to have an inferiority complex when it comes to art because they know that Southern Europe has been the center of art in the West since ancient times.Italy and France have the best museums,collections, paintings,sculptures, frescoes.Italy is the heart of Renaissance,you cant deny that.Much of the collections in british or german museums were result of theft and looting,specially in the case of egyptian and near east art and artifacts.Northern European contribution to art is small compared to the Mediterranean since ancient Greece and Rome
True, the Mediterranean people laid down the foundation and fundamentals...but the Northern Europeans took it a step further, pushing away from catholicism and just rebelling with every style. Skulls, alcohol, parties, family, psychology, dark scenes, demons, self portraits and just doing their own thing. It's dumb to compare the arts by countries that all fed off one another. Both parts of Europe were revolutionary.
Your pretty ignorant
This guy's reaction to the hair was creepy as fuck. Also, doing humanities homework on some really good edibles makes it way more interesting.
He seemed to think it was dyed 2 colors; I have similar strawberry- blonde hair--blonder on the outside where the sun bleaches, darker underneath. He also thought AD dyed it for the portrait; I disagree, my hair looks almost brown in winter, blonde in summer. Maybe he himself longed for such hair lol. Smoking the good green worx too ;)
