Nel frattempo, nella vita di Albrecht Dürer
Tutta la vita1507–1528 · Luogo di lavoro
Nuremberg
summer 1518
At the Imperial Diet in Augsburg
Dürer represented Nuremberg at the Imperial Diet in Augsburg, where he drew Maximilian I and Albrecht of Brandenburg and painted a portrait of Jakob Fugger.
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.
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.”
