The Bold and the Beautiful

Published on August 7, 2025

Artistic invention and adventurous experimentation characterized the art of Europe in the 16th and early 17th centuries. Fueled by the rediscovery of ancient Roman sculpture, and by a drive to recapture and compete with its grace, balance, and energy, artists experimented boldly with style and composition. 

Visitors can explore nearly 70 etchings, engravings, woodcuts, and drawings from a period of Italian, Dutch, and Netherlandish printmaking at its most adept and sophisticated.

The exhibition runs from July 17, 2025 – April 13, 2026 at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, 02115.
