List of paintings by Albrecht Dürer
The following is an incomplete list of paintings by the German painter and engraver Albrecht Dürer.
Legend for the table
The reproductions are coming for the most part from the online catalogues of the institution the work is held.Articles at the beginning of some titles are dropped for better sortability.
Paintings that belong together are not always joined, except for the occasional back sides of paintings. Secondary specifications are in small font.
The original medium is mentioned first and stated as just "color", if there is no specific statement that the medium was actually proven to be oil; modifications that represent the current state are stated subsequently.
In the case of Dürer the time spans are not likely to represent the duration spent working on the picture, instead usually signifies the estimated date by scholars for a work, that has no year stated by Dürer's own hand and/or decisive source. The small types under the date indicate at least some identification and are to be read as follows: d : original date by Dürer's hand on the panel at the time of the work's completionm : original monogram "AD" by Dürer's hand on the panel+ : dated and signed with full name, and additional text in German or Latin. Text and translation are quoted as reference.i : date and monogram with occasionally additional text veristically integrated into the picture p : preparatory drawings have survivedw : sourced by Dürer's own writing or other trusted written testimony, like communal archives, letters by contemporaries or collection inventories, that scholars universally agree uponl : later dated, monogrammed or inscribed by Dürer's hand f : anything of a different hand than Dürer's of a later date c : authenticity challenged by several scholars and not yet invalided — : not signed or referenced anywhere, still the attribution to Dürer solely on stylistical grounds is universally accepted c : not signed or referenced anywhere, however known through copies
For the current location the city is mentioned first, it is most unambiguous and allows to combine multiple galleries of that city. The gallery where the work is displayed is mentioned second, followed by the name of the actual superordinate collection owning the work.
The inventory number of the object in brackets is linked to the entry in the online catalogue of the collection if available.
The last column gives the number of the catalogue raisonné of Dürer's paintings, which Fedja Anzelewsky, lifelong affiliated with the Kupferstichkabinett Berlin, compiled and published in 1971, and revised 20 years later. The legend for the four different capitals following the chronological numbering is as follows: K only survived as copyV for lost but known through writingsZ painting that only survived in drawingsW 'workshop' painting
