Albrecht was his father's third son. He finished his apprentiship with Michael Wolgumut after four years. After he returned, he seemed to have given up painting, and instead spent most of his time to his copper and wood engravings. Since paintings were very costly and not many people could afford them. Durer also researched about the mathematics of proportion and perspective and published two works on this topic during his life. From that period on, the Italian influence was unmistakable in his work. Jerome in His Study', and 'Melancholia'. He died in Nuremberg on April 6, 1528. He was apprenticed by Michael Wolgumut in 1486 and began to work with woodcuts. Than, in 1494, he married Agnes Frey and left Nuremberg to go to Venice the same year. These copies were used to educate people in religious and classical history. He became very fascinated by their style and worked on woodcuts, drawings, paintings, wood and copper engravings. He was a friend of Martin Luther and several other leaders of the Reformation.
