Description
Closed MON & TUES through 9/21, then only closed TUES.After 1600, it became increasingly common for draftsmen and printmakers to study nature closely and directly, rather than copy natural motifs from books and other artworks. This exhibition features approximately 16 prints and drawings that reveal the empiricist’s impulse to capture nature, with its fine detail and fleeting light effects, and record it on paper. Artists include Paul Sandby (England, 1725–1809), William Gilpin (England, 1724–1804), and Wenceslaus Hollar (Bohemia, now Czech Republic, 1607–1677).
