The woodcuts, engravings, and etchings by Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) have long been prized for their creativity, intellectual content, and technical virtuosity. His art marks the apogee of Renaissance printmaking.

World-renowned art historian and Dürer expert Professor Jeffrey Chipps Smith shares how Dürer sold, bartered, and gifted his prints and how, in the century after the Nuremberg master’s death, his works became prized possessions in princely Kunstkammern and other famous art collections across Europe.

Hear about examples of Dürer-mania and how several painters in Flanders and Italy incorporated faithful replicas of his prints within their portraits and pictures of meditating saints and curiosity cabinets, and learn more about the NGV’s extensive collection of works by Dürer.
