Views into Albrecht Dürer’s World
Thursday 27 October 2022
We were delighted to be approached by the Whitworth Gallery to arrange a series of fundraising events to support Albrecht Dürer’s Material World exhibition, the first major exhibition of the Whitworth’s outstanding collection of Dürer’s woodcuts, etchings, and engravings in over fifty years which opens in June 2023.
The programme includes three different events. The first event is:
Perspectives on Albrecht Dürer’s Material Renaissance.
Three University of Manchester academics, Dr Edward Wouk, Dr Stefan Hanß and Professor Sasha Handley will show us through their innovative research preparing for this major exhibition, how Dürer would have seen objects in his material world. Our speakers have kindly agreed to introduce some of the early findings of their work, which shed new light on even some of Dürer’s most familiar prints.
From tiles to feathers, from armour to books, Dürer’s prints are filled with a world of material objects which he studied and rendered with exacting detail, remaking them through his art.
How can we approach these objects of exquisite manufacture through Dürer’s eyes? Our speakers will discuss the use of digital microscopy in their research and will explore the emotional power of objects in Dürer’s time, looking at Dürer’s depiction of sleep and dreams, his fascination with birds and armour, and his attention to cross-cultural interaction between Renaissance Germany and the Islamic world
