Gods, Saints, and Martyrs: Northern Renaissance Prints

Exhibition Website

Oct 26 2018 - Feb 10 2019

For centuries, sacred figures have provided artists in virtually all cultures with subject matter. For Christians, stories from the Bible, particularly those about Christ’s life, have inspired works of art in all media. This exhibition features prints from Northern Europe made over the course of the sixteenth century, highlighting the work of Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528), one of the most prominent and successful artists of his time. Dürer produced at least five series of prints and drawings detailing Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection, a sequence known as the Passion.
