Gallery Talk: Print Perfect—Dutch Printmaking in the 1590s

Curatorial fellow Susanne Bartels will give an overview of print workshop processes in the Northern Netherlands in the 1590s and explore how and why Haarlem and Amsterdam became such prolific print production centers. This talk will focus on works on display in the exhibition The Solomon Collection: Dürer to Degas and Beyond.

The Solomon Collection: Dürer to Degas and Beyond celebrates a significant recent bequest to the Harvard Art Museums from passionate collectors Arthur K. and Mariot F. Solomon. The exhibition spotlights over 135 works, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints by some of the most significant artists from the Renaissance to the 20th century, and offers visitors an intimate view into the highly personal yet inherently collaborative nature of art collecting.

Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the gallery talk. Talks are limited to 18 people and are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
