A deep sense of nature is permeated with watercolor landscapes of Durer, apparently related to the beginning of the 1490s, performed by him during walks around Nuremberg, during a trip to southern Germany and Switzerland and on his way to Venice.
These drawings of the young artist, who had just come out of the almost medieval half-dressed master’s workshop, speak of a new era of German and even all European art. Preserving Elements with a somewhat naive panoramic topography, they have a clearly expressed sense of the integrity of the image of nature, completely unfamiliar to artists of the 15th century.
