Albrecht Dürer: Art in Transition, Masterpieces from the Graphic Collection of the Hessian State Museum, Darmstadt (HLMD) will be a landmark exhibition for the Tampa Bay area and for the entire state. Dürer (1471-1528) is the most important German Renaissance artist and one of the most significant figures in the history of art. Though a painter and draftsman, he is especially known for his role in the development of printmaking and for transforming the art of engraving. His woodcuts, as well, are still viewed as technical marvels. Because of the fragility of these works, the exhibition has been restricted to three American venues. The MFA is the only Florida venue. For more information call 727-896-2667.
