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.
