Explanation:

Albrecht Dürer was a German engraver, illustrator and painter of the Nordic Renaissance.

Dürer was born in the city of Nuremberg (Germany) on May 21, 1471. He died in the same city in which he was born at age 56 on April 6, 1528. He also worked as an art theorist and mathematician.

He painted self-portraits, animals and landscapes. However, he stood out in the painting of religious scenes linked to Christianity.

St. James the Apostle, one of his most famous paintings is a great example of these religious paintings. The presence and strength of Saint James evokes the full power of the Christian religion and the message it wished to convey.

the answer is counterpoint.

counterpoint definition: "the art or technique of playing a melody or melodies in conjunction with another, according to fixed rules."

counterpoint is present in a lot of baroque music- such as bach (notably his wtc prelude and fugues) and scarlatti, but can also be found in music by mozart, beethoven. it can even be found in music as modern as john williams!
