Dürer. Masterpieces from the Albertina

Dürer. Masterpieces from the Albertina analyses the career of Albrecht Dürer (Nuremberg 1471-1528) through a chronological and thematic arrangement which focuses on his artistic preoccupations and the versatility of his creative genius. A tireless observer of reality, Dürer was also a highly reflexive artist. His work combines the German world, with its detailed, almost scientific gaze, with the Italian one in which Man was the measure of all things.

The 58 drawings and the 29 prints in the exhibition have been lent by the Albertina in Vienna. This collection was founded in 1776 by Duke Albert von Sachsen-Teschen and is now one of the most important collections of graphic art in the world. The exhibition also includes the four paintings by Dürer in the collection of the Museo del Prado: the Self-portrait, Adam and Eve and the Portrait of an Unknown Man.
