Traveling Exhibitions

Scripture for the Eyes: Bible Illustration in Netherlandish Prints of the Sixteenth Century, an exhibition that features two prints from the collection of the Georgia Museum of Art, Nailing to the Cross (above) and Crucifixion, both by Herman Janz. Muller, opens tomorrow at the Museum of Biblical Art in New York.

Scripture for the Eyes will be the first major exhibition to explore the central role played by printed illustrations of subjects from both the Old and New Testaments in the sixteenth century. Through approximately 80 engravings, woodcuts and illustrated Bibles and books by masters such as Lucas van Leyden, Maarten van Heemskerck, Philips Galle, Hendrick Goltzius, Hieronymus Wierix and others, biblical prints will be shown to have been a dynamic force both in the transformation of Northern European art between Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt van Rijn and in the intensified attention to scripture in the religious turmoil of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation.

So if you're going to be in New York, please visit our prints!
