Durer, a renowned German painter, printmaker, and theorist from Nuremberg during the late 15th to early 16th century, left an indelible mark on Christian art. The image captures the essence of his profound artistic vision. In this composition, Durer explores the dichotomy between heaven and hell with meticulous attention to detail.
