Dürer is a German painter / engraver from the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance He is famous for his depictions of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse or the Fall of Man His style oscillates between German Gothic and Renaissance Classicism which fits perfectly with AoT story

Here, we see the Eldian empire collapse during the Great Titan War (evoking the end of the Middle Ages and Gothic style) while power shifts to Marley, marking a new era akin to the transition to the Renaissance in Europe
