December, 2009

This exhibition focuses on the beauty, quality and rarity of Old Master prints. Multum in Parvo: greatness in smallness, largesse of meaning presented with economy of means, the particular transformed into the universal. These precepts characterize the nature of this collecting domain. Perfect for any Old Master print collector, this catalogue includes some of the most important works by Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, Francisco de Goya, and Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
