"Art and Early Music Month." Albrecht D眉rer was one of the most influential artists in Germany. Living during the time of Martin Luther's Reformation; the establishment of the printing-press in the disemination of art and ideas; and the advent of new humanist thought, D眉rer proved to be a true "Renaissance Man" - as steeped in the intellectual thinking of his day as he was the myriad of means of artistic expression. He lived the best part of his life in Nuremberg and played a significant role in establishing the medieval city as the "centre" of Europe in the 16th century - a city as important culturally as it was politically. Catherine Bott travels to Nuremberg, looks back on the significance of Nuremberg's contribution to culture, and visits the D眉rerhaus which is now a D眉rer museum. She meets the Director Jutta Tschoeke and considers the D眉rer zeitgeist through his art and the music of his day. She also considers the D眉rer legacy and how it is mirrored in aspects of German music in later years.
