Caroline Fowler, Starr Director of the Research and Academic Program, discusses Dürer's relationship to the Italian printmaker and artist Andrea Mantegna, who was a central influence for Dürer throughout his career. At the end of his life, Dürer turned to Mantegna to meditate on the procession of images, the ephemerality of art, and the necessary role of community among artists across time to create meaning.
