THE BEST ART SHOWS TO VISIT FROM NOVEMBER ONWARDS

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL

ALBRECHT DURER - THE HARROWING OF HELL - CHRIST IN LIMBO-THE LARGE PASSION-GERMANY, 1510, COURTESY OF THE SCHRODER COLLECTION

On until 10 April 2024

The Devil is in the Detail: Dürer’s Great Passion and Early Woodcuts from the Schroder Collection will display one of the most important series of woodcuts in Albrecht Dürer’s career, the Great Passion – which is rarely seen in its complete set – as well as several other key works from the era. At the same time, There Goes the Sun will show at least five modern woodcuts by fellow German artist Christiane Baumgartner (b.1967). The works will be displayed at Strawberry Hill House & Garden, where centuries earlier Horace Walpole had kept a vast collection of woodcuts and engravings, including over 300 by the German Renaissance master.
