Danube Landscape by Albrecht Altdorfer
Year: 1520
Medium: Parchment on panel
Description: There are no people or figures, just the Teutonic woods, although there is a Castle on the top of the hill. This demonstrates the author’s connection with nature; the shadows of the light make it look and even feel real. This is an example of a secular painting (non-religious) of the time. German.
