Following the tradition of young journeymen, Dürer spent nearly four years visiting and studying with master artists in Alsace, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and other cities in Germany. Returning home to Nürnberg in 1494, he married Agnes Frey, the daughter of a local craftsman. Only a few months after the wedding, he left his new bride, crossing the Alps into Italy, where he absorbed the advanced style and techniques of the most prominent Quattrocento artists. In 1495, immediately upon his return to his hometown, he established his own workshop, and with it, a growing reputation.
