Albrecht Duerer exhibition in Vienna

Highlights from the press preview of the ‘Albrecht Duerer’ exhibition at the Albertina museum in Vienna, Austria.

It has been decades since so many works by Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) have been seen in one place

The Albertina Museum holds the world’s most important collection of Albrecht Duerer’s drawings, a collection that numbers nearly 140 works.

For this once-in-a-century exhibition, the Albertina Museum has succeeded in uniting important works from international lenders: the Adoration of the Magi from the Uffizi, the unsettling and unsparing self-portrait of a naked Albrecht Duerer from Weimar, Martyrdom of the Ten Thousand from Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, Christ among the Doctors from the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, and what is possibly Duerer’s most handsome male portrait from the neighbouring Museo del Prado.

The exhibition runs from 19 September 2019 to 06 January 2020.
