We’re kicking off our fall Art in Focus series with this engraving of Adam and Eve by Albrecht Dürer! One of the artist’s most celebrated engravings, it’s got something for everyone. Theory of the four humors? Check! “Ideal” human proportions? Check! Incredibly detailed animals? Double-check!

Join us at 12 noon on Thursday, September 19 in the galleries for an informal conversation about this work, led by Curator of Education Michelle DiMarzo, PhD (if you’re looking for the virtual program, click here).

The engraving is part of our new exhibition Ink and Time: European Prints from the Wetmore Collection, on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries September 12 through December 21. For more information about the exhibition, visit our website here.
