Old Master Highlights of the Works on Paper Collection
Arts and Museums
The Works on Paper Collection of the Carlos Museum contains more than 4,000 prints, drawings, and photographs. Chronologically, it ranges from a thirteenth-century illuminated manuscript page to a twenty-first century monoprint. This exhibition presents prints and drawings from the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. The earliest works are engravings by three great printmakers of the early sixteenth century: Albrecht Dürer, Lucas van Leyden, and Marcantonio Raimondi. Also to be found are portraits of and by noted Netherlandish engravers of the latter half of the century, Philips Galle, Dirck Coornhert, and Hendrick Goltzius. These three artists, among others, also feature prominently in this fall’s third floor exhibition, Scripture for the Eyes: Bible Illustration in Netherlandish Prints of the Sixteenth Century (October 17, 2009–January 24, 2010).
By the end of the sixteenth century, etching had become the favored printing technique of artists in Italy and the North, as the works by Annibale…

The exhibition, featuring works by Lucas van Leyden, Maarten van Heemskerck, Dirck Volkertszoon Coornhert, and Hieronymus Wierix among others, explores the ways in which printed illustrations of Biblical and other religious themes supplemented and magnified the texts they accompanied during a period of dramatic religious and political upheaval.

EWG found toxins linked to cancer, birth defects, hormone disruption, reproductive problems, immune disorders and other serious health problems.
