ALPHA OMEGA ARTS

"St. Jerome in His Study" by Albrecht Dürer

NETHERLANDS---From October to 2 February 2, 2014, the Städel Museum presents "Albrecht Dürer: His Art in Context" (1471–1528) – presumably the most important artist of the German Renaissance – in a comprehensive special exhibition (Watch video). The show encompasses more than 280 works, including some 200 by Dürer himself. Now an internationally celebrated artist, Dürer was held in high esteem and received several commissions there. In Antwerp, for example, he painted "St Jerome in His Study" (1521, Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon). An entire room on the upper floor is dedicated to juxtaposing the various depictions of St Jerome. [link]
