Albrecht Dürer the Elder

This portrait of the artist´s father was most likely part of a diptych with the portrait of his mother, Barbara Holper, since the coat of arms of both families are present on the back. It was acquired by cardinal Leopoldo de ´ Medici before 1675, inventoried that year in his collection. It came to the Gallery in 1773. Even in this early work the characteristic of his work are evident- both the representation of minute detail typical of northern art and the plasticity typical of the Italian Renaissance.
