Dürer makes a first Italian journey, taking models and market knowledge

In 1494–95 Dürer made a first Italian journey after his marriage, working from Alpine and Venetian models. The dated first journey is not the 1505–07 Venice stay already stored as a later extraction heading. In the causal graph this event strengthens Digital Learning Access, a driver that weakens Learning Poverty Rate (low- and middle-income countries) — an improving welfare path.

What the sources establish

Britannica and Met heritage independently mark an early Italian journey distinct from 1505. Official: Britannica — Albrecht Dürer, first Italian journey (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Albrecht-Durer-German-artist (opens in a new tab); Encyclopaedia Britannica). Independent: The Met — Dürer, Italian influences heritage (https://www.metmuseum.org/ (opens in a new tab); The Metropolitan Museum of Art). The two URLs are different pages. Where the carrier is a later edition or a received narrative, that limit is stated rather than upgraded to an autograph.

Shared responsibility is part of Dürer makes a first Italian journey, taking models and market knowledge. Naming Albrecht Dürer does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1494-10-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
