Italian painters were brought to France by Louis XII andFrancis I, and French painters were subsidized to imitate them. PhilipII proved himself a liberal patron of painting throughout hisdominions. [Sidenote: Duerer] In Germany, painting was developed by Albrecht Duerer (1471-1528), anative of Nuremberg, who received a stimulus from Italian work and wasroyally patronized by the Emperor Maximilian. The career of Duerer washonored and fortunate: he was on terms of friendship with all the firstmas...ters of his age; he even visited and painted Erasmus. But it is asan etcher or engraver, rather than as a painter, that Duerer'sreputation was earned. His greatest engravings--such as the Knight andDeath, and St. Jerome in his Study--set a standard in a new art whichhas never been reached by his successors. The first considerableemployment of engraving, one of the most useful of the arts, synchronized with the invention of printing. Just as books were a meansof multiplying, cheapening, and disseminating ideas, so engravings oncopper or wood were the means of multiplying, cheapening, anddisseminating pictures which gave vividness to the ideas, or served inplace of books for those who could not read.
