Den Menschen vor Augen
The exhibition titled "Den Menschen vor Augen" explores the artistic strategies of depicting the human figure in Italian drawings from 1450 to 1750. It highlights the evolving perception of humanity as a creaturely phenomenon and a social being, especially during the Italian Renaissance. The exhibition showcases the capability to represent the human form using various graphical techniques such as black chalk, red chalk, pastel, and wash. Through an exemplary selection of works by artists like Domenico di Bartolo, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Fra Bartolommeo, Jacopo da Pontormo, Odoardo Fialetti, and Jacopo Amigoni, the exhibition focuses on these representation strategies. It is organized by the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung and will be open until April 13, 2025.
