Drawn in Copper: Italian Prints in the Age of Barocci
This Focus on the Collection exhibition draws from the Museum’s more than 14,000 works on paper to explore prints made by Italian painters turned printmakers. Presenting engravings, known for their precision, and etchings, celebrated for their spontaneous line quality, this exhibition provides a condensed introduction to the state of Italian art in a moment of rich development in technique, style, and subject matter. It also serves as a complement to the special exhibition Federico Barocci: Renaissance Master, which includes paintings and drawings as well as all of Barocci’s prints. For more information about the exhibition, or to arrange a visit to the Museum's Print Study Room, which is open to the public, call 314.721.0072 or visit slam.org.
