Dürer and his time reach Palma

The Cultural Centre of the Fundació "la Caixa" in the Balearics, situated in the Plaça de Weyler of Palma, presents de exhibition "Dürer and his time", that can be visited from March 7 to June 16, 2002.

The exhibition groups a selection of drawings and engravings created between 1410 and 1573 in the area that now is Germany. In this period the new humanist ideas spread throughout Europe influencing and originating big changes in art. Thanks to the new conception of man in relation to his environment and the scientific and technical development of the moment, the artistic methods improved and drawing and engraving, traditionally regarded as subsidiary and preparatory techniques, were developed to a very high degree.

The exhibition that holds the Fundació "la Caixa", although it includes works by some of the most representative artists of the time, it concentrates on Albrecht Dürer (Nuremberg, 1417-1528), creator that symbolizes as any other the artistic tendencies of the moment.
