Guided tour of the exhibition Albrecht Dürer – Renaissance et Gravure – (from June 4 to October 2, 2022).
Considered in his lifetime as a universal genius, Albrecht Dürer continues to fascinate. Through his engravings, he helped shape the European Renaissance by placing himself at the heart of artistic exchanges. Too rarely exhibited in France, this immense artist is exceptionally honored at Chantilly, with the help of more than 200 works! For the first time, two major collections of works by Dürer in France, that of the Condé Museum in Chantilly and that of the National Library of France, join forces to highlight the dazzling graphic art of the German master, placed at the heart of his own artistic practice and the upheavals of his time. The exhibition «Albrecht Dürer- Renaissance et Gravure» has just been awarded the label «Exposition d'intérêt national». This label rewards the Château de Chantilly for its outstanding exhibition, both for the scientific quality and the innovative nature of the cultural mediation activities that accompany it. The guided tour will introduce you to the art of this immense German artist who, through his engravings, helped shape the European Renaissance by placing himself at the heart of artistic, commercial and humanist exchanges. Duration 45 minutes.
