Albrecht ALTDORFER (1480 ca. - Regensburg 1538)

He was a painter, the leader of the Danubian School in southern Germany, and a contemporary of Albrecht Dürer. He was a landscape painter of religious and mythological representations; very famous also for painting landscapes for their beauty and not as illustrating any story or parable, perhaps the first "pure" landscape painter.
