Records of Journeys to Venice and the Low Countries
This etext was produced by John Mamoun
"Records of Journeys to Venice and the Low Countries" by Albrecht Dürer is a collection of letters and memoirs written during the late 15th to early 16th centuries. This historical account provides a unique glimpse into the travels of the renowned Northern Renaissance artist, Albrecht Dürer, as he navigates the vibrant cities of Venice and the Low Countries, detailing his experiences, observations, and the sociopolitical climate of his time. At the start of the memoir, Dürer writes to his friend Wilibald Pirkheimer from Venice, sharing his thoughts about the challenges of purchasing goods and the nature of the people he encounters. His candid descriptions highlight both the friendly and deceptive behaviors of the locals, painting a lively picture of Venetian life. Dürer expresses his artistic ambitions, including his work on a commissioned painting, and also shares personal reflections on his family and financial obligations. His letters reveal not only the practicalities of a traveling artist but also his personality, filled with humor and keen insight into the world around him.
