Albrecht Dürer ist wohl der bekannteste deutsche Künstler. Auch heute noch beeindrucken uns die Modernität und die Vielfalt seines Werkes. Bereits zu Lebzeiten ein international gefeierter Künstlerstar, wurde sein Werk in den folgenden Jahrhunderten begeistert gesammelt. In allen Museen zählt es zu den absoluten Höhepunkten. Trotzdem umgibt Dürer noch manches Geheimnis. Rätselhaft geblieben sind sein Frühwerk, seine Reisen nach Italien, sein Verhältnis zu Raffael, Mantegna oder Cranach, aber auch seine Haltung gegenüber Religion und Kirche. Genauso sind Entstehung und Vertrieb seiner Werke nicht in jedem Fall geklärt. Anja Grebe widmet sich dem bekannten wie dem unbekannten Dürer. Sie beschreibt nicht einfach nur Dürers Werke, sondern erklärt, unter welchen persönlichen und historischen Umständen sie entstanden sind. Wir erhalten so einen neuen umfassenden Zugang zu Albrecht Dürer.
