Albrecht Dürer consists of 100 graphics from the renowned German collection acquired by Grand Duke Ludewig I of Hessen in 1801-1802 from the famous graphic arts dealer Pierre-Jean Mariette. The works selected by curator Dr. Mechthild Haas represent the historic chronology of Dürer's work. Dürer's woodcuts and engravings are explored, with particular attention paid to his interest in making art accessible to the common man, which played a major role in the eventual acceptance of the print media as an art form. Painter, printmaker, draftsman and art theorist, Dürer was perhaps the only Northern artist to fully grasp the complex relationship between scientific theory and art advanced by the Italian Renaissance. Many of Dürer's famous graphics are represented in the exhibition including 22 images from the Passion of Christ series and seven from the Apocalypse series.
