Artist's right to be rude, possibly? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

durer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'artist's' is the definition.
(painter Albrecht Durer)

'right to be rude possibly?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'rude' is 'duer' which is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for durer that I've seen before include "C Fifteenth-Sixteenth German painter/engraver" , "Old master" , "From Renaissance artist" , "Albrecht -, Nuremburg artist" , "Albrecht -, fifteenth to sixteenth century German artist" .)
