DÜRER, Albrecht: View of Arco

🖼 View of Arco, 1495
Watercolour and gouache on paper
221 × 221 cm

Watercolor captures a distant Alpine town nestled in misty mountains, rendered with precise detail and atmospheric perspective. Dürer's topographic study revolutionized landscape painting, establishing the Northern Renaissance tradition of documenting places with scientific accuracy and poetic sensibility.
