Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528)

• The German name "Dürer" is a translation from the Hungarian, "Ajtósi". Initially, it was "Türer", meaning doormaker, which is "ajtós" in Hungarian (from "ajtó", meaning door).
• A door is featured in the coat-of-arms the family acquired.
• Albrecht Dürer the Younger later changed "Türer", his father's diction of the family's surname, to "Dürer", to adapt to the local Nuremberg dialect.
• Dürer the Elder married Barbara Holper, daughter of his master when he himself qualified as a master in 1467.
• The displayed painting is a crop from: Albrecht Dürer, Self-portrait, 1498.
