NATIONAL GALLERY VIRTUAL EVENT 2021
WEDNESDAY 24 NOVEMBER | 17:30 - 18:30
WEDNESDAY 24 NOVEMBER | 17:30 - 18:30
Our virtual National Gallery event saw the first major UK exhibition of German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in nearly 20 years.
Through paintings, drawings, prints, and letters, the exhibition followed Dürer’s travels across Europe, bringing to life the artist himself, and the people and places he visited. Charting his journeys to the Alps, Italy, Venice and the Netherlands, the exhibition explored how Dürer’s travels sparked an exchange of ideas with Netherlandish and Italian Renaissance artists, fuelled his curiosity and creativity, and increased his fame and influence across Europe.
'Dürer’s Journeys' brings together loans from museums and private collections across the world, including the artist's striking ‘Madonna and Child’ (c. 1496/1499) from the National Gallery of Art, Washington, never before seen in the UK.
