In the life of Albrecht Dürer
The whole life1505–1507
Friendship with Giovanni Bellini
Dürer considered Giovanni Bellini “the best in painting”, the only Venetian master with whom he became friends. The Madonna of the Siskin may have been painted at Bellini's request.
1505–1507
To Bologna for the secrets of perspective
Dürer travelled to the university city of Bologna, hoping to learn the secrets of geometric perspective from its scholars. He then meant to visit Mantegna in Padua but received news of his death, which he greatly regretted afterwards.
1505–1507 · Workplace
Venice
1507
Leaving Venice: “Here I am a gentleman”
Dürer left Italy, apparently reluctantly: in one of his last letters to Pirckheimer he remarked, “Here I am a gentleman, while at home I am only a parasite.”
1507–1528 · Workplace
Nuremberg
1509
Elected to Nuremberg's Greater Council
Dürer was elected a nominated member of Nuremberg's Greater Council; in that role he may have taken part in the city's artistic projects.
