Abstract
Since his own days—or at least after a short period of oblivion immediately following his death—Albrecht Durer has belonged to that very limited number of artists whose works were indispensable in every art gallery. By the end of the sixteenth century the great amateurs began to compete in acquiring his paintings, nearly all of which passed early into public museums. The few left in private hands until the second half of the nineteenth century, came afterwards to enrich the artistic property of the German nation. Those who had not secured their share of the master's works early enough, could get only the gleanings; the pictures available in the last decades cannot be supposed to have been Durer's most important ones.
