DÜRER, Albrecht: Landscape near Segonzano in the Cembra Valley

🖼 Landscape near Segonzano in the Cembra Valley, 1495
Watercolour
210 × 312 cm

Rendered in delicate watercolor, jagged Alpine peaks and rolling valleys recede into misty distance, capturing light with precise detail. Dürer's direct observation from nature revolutionized landscape art, establishing the genre as worthy of serious artistic study beyond mere background decoration.
