    Publishes the Great Passion and the Life of the Virgin

    Dürer published two woodcut series as books, the Great Passion and the Life of the Virgin, with a second edition of the Apocalypse and the 37 woodcuts of the Little Passion. His post-Venetian woodcuts developed chiaroscuro modelling.

  3. 1512

    Emperor Maximilian I becomes his chief patron

    From 1512 Emperor Maximilian I was Dürer's chief patron. For him Dürer and his workshop produced the Triumphal Arch, a giant woodcut 295 × 357 cm printed from 192 blocks and modelled on the triumphal arches of ancient Rome.

  4. 3 January 1512

    Nuremberg's privilege against forgeries

    Nuremberg's city council granted Dürer a privilege for the sale of his prints, with penalties for anyone who forged them.

  5. 1513–1516

    Three years without painting

    Complaining that painting did not pay enough to justify the time compared with his prints, Dürer produced no paintings from 1513 to 1516.

  6. 1514

    Death of his mother

    In the year of Melencolia I and St Jerome in His Study, the artist's mother, Barbara Holper, died.
