Although Duuml;rer lived five hundred years ago; today we are happy that many of his works have survived. While he was alive; Duuml;rer has published several hundred engravings on which are appeared his initials. It is impossible today to know how many of his works are lost; but those that have survived; give us a relatively complete view of the range of his work. Duuml;rer as rule spent much of his time as a printmaker. Finally; there are a thousand of his drawings and watercolors. The range and variety of his work is just amazing. His woodcarvings and engravings made him great and famous all over Europe; and he is commonly considered the best master in this area. As a painter; Duuml;rer has the equal success as in the paintings of religious topics; also in those with secular topics. He painted portraits as well as altars. His drawings and watercolors even today strike us with a variety of techniques and were painted with an almost phenomenal precision.
