Parution : Carl P.E. Springer, “Albrecht Dürer’s Four Apostles”, Leyde, Brill, 2026

The year 2026 means that 500 years have passed since Albrecht Dürer’s monumental Four Apostles was completed, but these two panels continue to attract much scholarly and popular attention. This monograph argues persuasively that Dürer’s diptych represents the artist’s vision of ideal harmony even as it acknowledges the reality of distinct identities. Even five centuries later, this composition retains an uncanny ability to move viewers who live in very different times and places but still deal with the same issues of division and unity that challenged the artist, his church, and his city in the early sixteenth century.
