Tour of the National Gallery Exhibition
The Renaissance in the North: New Prints and Perspectives
with curator Brooks Rich
November 21, 11:00 am
This program is in-person and members-only
Please join us for an in-person, members-only tour of the National Gallery of Art exhibition The Renaissance in the North: New Prints and Perspectives with Brooks Rich, Associate Curator of Old Master and Nineteenth-Century Prints.
Printmaking flourished in Northern Europe during the late 15th and 16th centuries as artists harnessed the power of the multiplied image. Relatively inexpensive, portable, and widely disseminated, prints aided religious devotion, advanced the fame of local and national figures, and offered moralizing lessons to enlighten and entertain an expanding international audience. On view in the National Gallery’s West Building, The Renaissance in the North: New Prints and Perspectives presents some 30 newly acquired prints by Renaissance artists working in Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
Drawn entirely from the National Gallery’s collection, the exhibition features rare prints by iconic artists such as Albrecht Dürer and Hendrick Goltzius, along with spectacular works by their printmaking contemporaries, including masterpieces never before exhibited at the museum. From small allegorical compositions intended for private contemplation to oversize, multi-sheet woodcuts made for interior decoration, these engravings, etchings, and woodcuts highlight the immense creativity and technical skill of the graphic artists working north of the Alps.
