Albrecht Durer is a famous German artist who was born on May 21, 1471, in Nuremberg, Germany, and passed away on April 6, 1528. Albrecht Durer was famous for his painting and printmaking. Albert Durer's father was a goldsmith and in his early years, he relocated from Hungary to Nurnberg in 1455. Albrecht Durer's father wanted him to be a goldsmith just like him and he worked at his dad’s goldsmith workshop for a little while. When he was just 13 years old, Albrecht Durer painted a self-portrait that was done in 1484 and a year later he painted Madonna with Musical Angels. His father saw potential talent in Albrecht Durer and arranged an apprenticeship to Michael Wohlgemuth.
