The Baroque Woodcut
Overview: 77 woodcuts, primarily from the collection of the National Gallery of Art, were presented in this exhibition of woodcuts of the 16th and 17th centuries. Included were works by artists Domenico Beccafumi, Giuseppe Scolari, and Jan Lievens as well as woodcuts resulting from a close collaboration between painters and woodblock cutters, such as prints created by Christoffel Jegher in association with Peter Paul Rubens and by Bartolomeo Coriolano in association with Guido Reni.
The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Peter Parshall, curator and head of the department of old master prints, was the exhibition curator. The exhibition was supported by the Thaw Charitable Trust.
