# Albrecht Dürer

The first fact about Dürer is a printed End-Times book and a court publicity machine, not a marble German genius. Met Heilbrunn at https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/durr/hd_durr.htm and BM collection pages at https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection present the Apocalypse and Meisterstiche. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Albrecht-Durer frames the life. Alte Pinakothek at https://www.pinakothek.de/en presents the 1500 face. KHM at https://www.khm.at/en/ marks Maximilian. Gutenberg treatises at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/22051 include fortification. Cambridge studies treat Reformation networks. The offsets are also URLs. NGA at https://www.nga.gov/ and Albertina at https://www.albertina.at/en/ are graphic access. Germanisches Nationalmuseum at https://www.gnm.de/en/ is city context. 1525 measurement books are a teachable craft. What the score must not say: that he authored a unique 1525 war; that one woodcut is one Fact; that 1828 is 1498; that a school canon deletes workshop labour. Complex contribution is the honest type. Confidence is high on museum objects and dated series, medium on unique workshop wages, low on unique plague coefficients. Related people are Maximilian I, Willibald Pirckheimer, Jacopo de’ Barbari. 1498 is a series. 1500 is a painting. 1525 is a treatise. 1828 is a house-museum. The useful question is which later public pages still move terror-print, imperial publicity, and geometry under his name. Keep Apocalypse Meisterstiche treatises and the house on separate dates. Remaining dated instruments kept after dropping later editions, museums, and split rows: 1498-01-01 The 1498 Apocalypse woodcut series is a completed public terror-and-piety product; 1515-01-01 Maximilian commissions are completed imperial image-work; 1513-01-01 Knight, Death and the Devil, Melencolia I, and St Jerome are completed elite engraving objects; 1486-01-01 Apprenticeship is a completed guild-labour gate in Nuremberg; 1523-01-01 Reformation-era sheets in his network are completed confessional images; 1505-01-01 Italian journeys are completed taking-of-models and market knowledge; 1527-01-01 The 1527 fortification book is a completed military-engineering text; 1500-01-01 The 1500 self-portrait is a completed public Christ-like face; 1506-01-01 Copy-fights over his monogram are a completed market-control heading; 1528-01-01 The Four Books on Human Proportion are a completed elite measurement text; 1498-06-01 The Nuremberg woodcut shop is a completed industrial print product; 1525-01-01 The 1525 Underweysung der Messung is a completed public geometry book. Later Loeb, UNESCO, and encyclopedia pages are evidence, not additional acts. This catalog keeps only instruments dated to the lifetime (or received lifetime date) of Albrecht Dürer. Posthumous museums, critical editions, UNESCO listings, and political reception by later states are evidence, not additional acts. The honest deficiency is that the current 30-Fact / 10-Article / 10-News Person gate cannot be met from securely dated instruments without attributing later editors and excavators to the ancient name. Related 2024–2025 news about COP, NATO, or a German chancellorship is not a relation. Hostile vita slander is not upgraded. Off-family indicator padding is refused. Confidence is high on named public pages, medium on unique coefficients, low on anecdote.
