Mientras tanto, en la vida de Albrecht Dürer
La vida entera1507–1528 · Lugar de trabajo
Nuremberg
1519
Death of Emperor Maximilian
Maximilian, Dürer's chief patron, died just as the artist feared he was losing “my sight and freedom of hand” (perhaps from arthritis) and was increasingly drawn to Luther's writings. Shortly before the emperor's death Dürer had made his portrait.
1520
Journey to the Netherlands with his wife
To renew his imperial pension and win the patronage of the new emperor, Charles V, Dürer travelled with his wife and her maid down the Rhine via Cologne to Antwerp, where he was warmly received. He attended the coronation at Aachen and saw van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece and Michelangelo's Madonna of Bruges.
1520
Antwerp asks him to stay; the circle of Erasmus
Hoping to keep the famous artist, Antwerp's magistrates offered him 300 guilders a year, a house as a gift and all his taxes paid. In the Netherlands Dürer moved among aristocrats, ambassadors and scholars, Erasmus of Rotterdam among them.
4 October 1520
Charles V confirms his pension
The new emperor, Charles V, confirmed Dürer's right to his pension of 100 guilders a year; the main aim of the journey had been achieved.
1520–1521
An illness caught in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands Dürer caught an unknown illness, possibly malaria, whose attacks plagued him for the rest of his life. He drew himself pointing to his spleen, with the note: “Where the yellow spot is, and where I point with my finger, that is where it hurts.”
