A fitting start to a new exhibition in Milan which portrays  the German painter as a key artist of the Renaissance. \u003cbr/\u003e              Although similar in some ways to Leonardo's 'Adoration of the Magi', the precise rendering of the plants, goldsmith work  and clothing are typical of the Nuremberg tradition.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"It's the idea of a Renaissance not so much based on the discovery of Classicism and the individual alone, which is the sort of conventional idea of what the Renaissance would be, but most of all the idea that the Renaissance is instead a period in European art and history that is characterised by opening, circulation, diffusion of ideas\" says Bernard Aikema, Curator of the Exhibit at the Palazzo Reale. \u003cbr/\u003e              Durer was born in Nuremberg in southern Germany in 1471. \u003cbr/\u003e              The son of a goldsmith, he began as a maker of woodcuts for book illustrations. By the time of his death in 1528, his fame and reputation had spread across Europe as an engraver, painter and art theorist.\u003cbr/\u003e              The new exhibit features a selection of paintings by other Italian and German artists alongside Albrecht Durer to illustrate how artists from the two countries influenced each other. \u003cbr/\u003e              'Saint Jerome in the Desert' by Leonardo Da Vinci sits next to Durer's 'Saint Jerome Pentinent'. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"It's a very important exhibit because as Italians we are convinced that the Renaissance is something exclusively Italian,\" explains Marco Carminati, an Italian journalist who specialises in Renaissance art.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"This exhibit widens our horizons because a person like Albercht Durer demonstrates how all the characteristics of the Renaissance culture were also present and cultivated in southern Germany and how he was in contact with the artists of his time.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Albrecht Durer travelled to Venice from 1506 to 1507 where he painted a series of works, including the 'Feast of the Rosary', which he mentions in a letter to his friend Willibald Pirckheimer.\u003cbr/\u003e              In the letter the German artist inserts a quick sketch of a female caricature, as if making fun of the very portraits he made in Venice.\u003cbr/\u003e              According to Co-Curator Andrew John Martin, Durer did not always get along with Venetian artists, but by the time he finishes the Feast of the Rosary he feels like he has convinced them that he is a genius.\u003cbr/\u003e              In 'Christ among the Doctors', also painted in Venice, Martin believes Durer explains this concept.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"My idea is that Durer who is always kind of present in his paintings and who often pictured himself as Christ, also a man who went around with really long hair, with the Christ like look, he is the young Christ and he is the representation of a new art,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003e              The exhibition is divided into themes: such as portraits, his relationship with Venice and geometry, measurements and architecture.\u003cbr/\u003e              In the latter, the 'Gate of Honor of the Emperor Maximilian 'I has been reconstructed for visitors to see as a unique piece, rather than singular woodcuts.\u003cbr/\u003e              The piece, which was made to celebrate the memory of Maximilian I, was made out of woodcuts rather than stone, as a less expensive and more transportable alternative.\u003cbr/\u003e              To create his masterpieces, Durer used a burin - a sharp cutting tool - to meticulously engrave a design-in-reverse onto a copper plate, which was inked and pressed onto paper.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"Durer is the first great European print maker of all times and his revolution is in that sense to be compared to that of the internet of today, that is not an exaggerated comparison, it's really like that, it's just as important,\" says Aikema.\u003cbr/\u003e              The exhibit also displays prints from the well known 'The Apocalypse'. Four editions of the fifteen woodcuts were printed with text added on their back.\u003cbr/\u003e              The volume was officially \"printed in Nuremberg by the painter Albrecht Durer\" making it the first book designed, illustrated and published in the western world.\u003cbr/\u003e              'Durer and the Renaissance, Between Germany and Italy' runs from 21 February to 24 June 2018 at the Palazzo Reale in Milan.\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              Milan, Italy - 20 February 2018\u003cbr/\u003e              1.
