D. Albrecht Dürer

Explanation:

Albrecht Dürer, (born May 21, 1471, Imperial Free City of Nürnberg [Germany]—died April 6, 1528, Nürnberg), painter and printmaker generally regarded as the greatest German Renaissance artist. His vast body of work includes altarpieces and religious works, numerous portraits and self-portraits, and copper engravings. Many of his creations were inspired by Italian Renaissance artists. His woodcuts, such as the Apocalypse series (1498), retain a more Gothic flavor than the rest of his work.
