Discover the beauty and elegance of Albrecht Dürer's Portrait of a Young Venetian Woman, an exquisite oil on elm panel painting from 1505. This small bust-length portrait is one of several high-society portraits that Dürer executed during his second visit to Italy.
The woman depicted in the portrait wears a patterned gown with tied-on sleeves that show the influence of Italian fashion. Her hair is styled in the Venetian fashion, and she gazes directly at the viewer with an enigmatic expression. Dürer's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume, making the portrait seem almost lifelike.
Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) was a German painter, printmaker, and theorist who is widely regarded as one of the greatest artists of the Northern Renaissance. He was known for his innovative use of perspective, anatomy, and color, and his work had a profound influence on subsequent generations of artists.
