The Northern Renaissance: Dürer to Holbein at The Queen's Gallery - Buckingham Palace

Continuing a run of terrific exhibitions at the small, but perfectly formed, Queen's Gallery, The Northern Renaissance: Dürer to Holbein presents over 100 works by the greatest Northern European artists at work during the 15th and 16th centuries. Amongst the highlights here are prints and drawings by Albrecht Dürer, alongside preparatory drawings by Hans Holbein the Younger, displayed next to the finished oil portraits. Featuring extraordinarily diverse subject matter and superb technical skill, these works come from a time when monarchs vied for territorial power, religious reformers questioned the central tenets of the church, and scholars sought greater understanding of the world around them.
