Pen and Parchment: Drawing in the Middle Ages July 21, 2009

For hundreds of years before the old masters, artists explored and tested the medium of drawing, producing whimsical sketches, intriguing graphic treatises and finished drawings of marvelous refinement. Gathering some 60 works from the 9th to the early 14th century, this exhibition will be the first to celebrate the unique role of drawings in the artistic production of the Middle Ages.
