Artist of the Reformation
By Joyce McPherson
 The
“Leonardo of the North” was more than just a gifted artist. He was a writer,
clever businessman, and apt teacher of students, and a man passionately
interested in attracted to the theology of Martin Luther. He did more than just
create works of art for wealthy patrons; he also took advantage of the new
technology of printing in order to bring his illustrations of the Bible to a
wide audience of ordinary people. This biography focuses on Durer the man,
rather than Durer the artist. Joyce once again helps us to understand a
historical figure by showing us his childhood, family, friends, and hopes and
fears. Filled with excerpts from Durer's own writings and illustrated with 30 of
his most famous pieces. At the death of Albrecht Durer, Martin Luther wrote, “It
is natural and right to weep for so excellent a man.”
