Albrecht Altdorfer was the first German artist to execute pure landscapes. A painter and architectural and metal-work designer in Regensburg, he is most famous for establishing the Danube School of artists devoted to a romantic interest in the natural world, to which Augustin Hirschvogel also belonged.
