Updated 2026-05-29
Renaissance painter who made landscape the star of the show—biblical scenes took a backseat to his expressive Bavarian scenery. Altdorfer's tiny engravings and his Danube School credentials kept him visible across 16th-century German art circles.
Biography
About
Albrecht Altdorfer was a German painter, engraver and architect of the Renaissance working in Regensburg, Bavaria. Along with Lucas Cranach the Elder and Wolf Huber he is regarded to be the main representative of the Danube School, setting biblical and historical subjects against landscape backgrounds of expressive colours. He is remarkable as one of the first artists to take an interest in landscape as an independent subject. As an artist also making small intricate engravings he is seen to belong to the Nuremberg Little Masters.
