A classic monograph on this thinker analogized his career to "the effect of two interfering waves of light or sound in physics," and thus divided this artist's career into short segments like "Five Years of Rational Synthesis." This thinker was probably the first person to depict solids using "nets." One of his most famous works fused iconographic depictions of the vice of sloth and the art of geometry, while another of his works may have been inspired by Erasmus's (*) Handbook. Erwin Panofsky summarized this artist's contradictions by noting that, although he "subjected the human body to a system of lines and circles no less rigid than a construction in Euclid" in works like Four Books on Human Proportion, this artist had "a devotion...akin to religious worship" in painting "every grass and herb in a piece of turf" and "every hair in the fur of a little hare." The title winged figure holds a compass and rests her head on her fist underneath an hourglass and a magic square in an engraving by this artist. For 10 points, name this German Renaissance creator of Knight, Death, and the Devil and Melencolia I.
