Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
16th-century school lesson
The Schoolmaster. 16th-century school lesson shown in a woodcut by the German artist Albrecht Durer (1471-1528). A schoolmaster is instructing his pupils. The date of 1510 is given at upper left. Durer did much to introduce the Renaissance style of art to northern Europe. He travelled to Italy in 1494 and 1505, to study the new art. He was one of the first to study and use perspective, and his mathematical rigour meant his works were among the best of the time. From The Complete Woodcuts of Albrecht Durer (W. Kurth, 1936)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a 16th-century school lesson, depicted in a woodcut by the renowned German artist Albrecht Durer. The scene showcases a dedicated schoolmaster diligently instructing his pupils, immersing us in an educational setting of the past. The upper left corner reveals that this artwork was created in 1510, showcasing Durer's contribution to introducing Renaissance art to northern Europe. Durer's artistic journey led him to Italy twice, in 1494 and 1505, where he studied and embraced the new art styles of the time. His innovative use of perspective and mathematical precision elevated his works among the finest of his era. This particular woodcut is part of "The Complete Woodcuts of Albrecht Durer" published by W. Kurth in 1936. In this monochrome illustration, we witness an adult schoolmaster guiding young students through their lessons outdoors. The historical significance becomes evident as we observe these Caucasian boys immersed in their education during a pivotal period in history. Albrecht Durer's masterpiece not only reflects the importance placed on education but also serves as a testament to his skillful craftsmanship and dedication to pushing artistic boundaries during the Renaissance period. This image transports us back centuries ago while reminding us of the timeless value of learning and its enduring impact on society throughout history.
