DÜRER, Albrecht: View of Innsbruck

🖼 View of Innsbruck, 1495
Watercolour
127 × 187 cm
Vienna, Austria

Delicate lines render Innsbruck's alpine landscape with precise detail, mountains rising behind clustered rooftops in methodical perspective. Dürer's 1495 watercolor pioneered Northern European landscape art, establishing topographic accuracy as valid artistic subject matter rather than mere background.
