Overview
German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a versatile artist who was at once a printmaker, painter, theorist, and publisher. Born in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1471, he began to travel to Italy and France in his 20s, and the Low Countries of Belgium and the Netherlands years later. These experiences would significantly shape his artistic education and worldview.
This focused exhibition of prints, books, and paintings draws from The Huntington’s collections and features 24 works created during and following his travels to Italy and beyond. Click Here to Learn More
