Primarily it is reflected in mythological scenes. As a theorist, Durer wrote a treatise in practical geometry and construction of fortifications. The late works by Albrecht Durer are marked by the influence of Luther theories as for the role of the church in the society. At the beginning of the XVI century, he concentrated on the usage of the light and tonal effects in the graphic arts. As a talented graphic artist, he created a lot of perfect graphic works. His works had a significant influence on the next generations of the artist in Europe. Albrecht Durer is one of the first artists and theorists of art in German, which was not only a famous master but a founder of a systemic approach in art. The authors consider Albrecht Durer not only a renowned artist but a brilliant representative of German humanism.
