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

Date: 1494

## The fact

In 1494–95 [Dürer](/people/albrecht-durer) 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. Albrecht Dürer’s documented role is: He travelled toward Venice and the Alps as a young master. Italian workshops showed models; he drew; the 1505–07 stay remains a later row. Do not twin this with the 1505 Italian journey row. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Albrecht Dürer's documented role is: He travelled toward Venice and the Alps as a young master. Italian workshops showed models; he drew; the 1505–07 stay remains a later row.

## Context

Wolgemut’s shop, a Nuremberg plague year, and Italian print markets already structured the move. A study-journey is not unique authorship of Mantegna. Later museum labels are not 1494 type. Named others on the file: Agnes Dürer as newly married household, unnamed Alpine hosts, and Italian workshops share the file. The public setting is the file around 1494-10-01. Unnamed clerks, soldiers, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. The instrument stays Dürer makes a first Italian journey, taking models and market knowledge. The setting of Dürer makes a first Italian journey, taking models and market knowledge is the public file around 1494-10-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver edu-[digital-learning-access](/drivers/edu-digital-learning-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a mid-1490s Italian journey. Not established: a unique day-by-day diary, or that 1505 is this same trip. Established: a sourced public record of Dürer makes a first Italian journey, taking models and market knowledge under 1494-10-01. Established: a sourced public record of Dürer makes a first Italian journey, taking models and market knowledge under 1494-10-01.

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.

The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
