Detailed explanation-1: -Albrecht Dürer was a painter, printmaker, and writer generally regarded as the greatest German Renaissance artist. His paintings and engravings show the Northern interest in detail and Renaissance efforts to represent the bodies of humans and animals accurately.
Detailed explanation-2: -He was immediately successful, receiving in 1496 commissions for paintings from Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony. The woodcut series, the Apocalypse, published in 1498, by reason of its innovative format, technical mastery, and the forcefulness of its imagey, made Dürer famous throughout Europe.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Rhinoceros. Ever since its first publication in 1515, Dürer’s Rhinoceros has remained one of his most popular artworks.
