Dürer Through Other Eyes

21 January–15 March 1976

This exhibition includes thirty-six original engravings and woodcuts by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer and forty-eight copies after Dürer dating from the 16th through the 18th centuries. The copies were conceived not as forgeries of Dürer’s work, but in order to satisfy the great public demand for the master’s prints. A number even represent efforts on the part of other artists to equal or interpret the graphic tour de force of Dürer himself.
Curator and Catalogue: Students at Williams College and the Francine Clark Art Institute Graduate Program in the History of Art. The project emerged under the direction of Professor Julius S. Held, a leading authority on Northern European Art of the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

We are indebted to Mrs. Harold T. Martin and to the Harold T. Martin Fund for making it possible to bring this exhibition to The University of Chicago.
