The Virgin Mary with the Child and Saint Anna by Albrecht Durer

The Virgin Mary with the Child and Saint Anna by Albrecht Durer

In a number of remarkable portraits, executed during the period from 1510 to 1520, Durer, as it were, sums up the long-term study of the human personality.

After all the searches for classical beauty and attempts to create ideal norms, he continues to be attracted by a man such as he was at that time in Germany, primarily a representative of the German intelligentsia – a restless, anxious, internally contradictory, full of volitional energy and spiritual strength. These traits seek Durer first of all in the faces of his contemporaries. All his portraits retain their invariable character.

At the same time, they finally disappear the last vestiges of the past – external fractionality and angularity, colorful and linear rigidity. They are integral and free in their compositional constructions; figures are naturally located in the space allocated for them, the forms possess generality and plasticity.
