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.
