The fifteenth and sixteenth centuries stand for a revolution in art and in the imaging media, as it was during this period that different printing techniques were invented. In our CastYourArt film, Christof Metzger leads us through the Albertina exhibition "The Renaissance of Etching. From Dürer to Bruegel" and provides insight into those first decades of the development of printing technology which marked the beginning of the image as a mass medium.

Albrecht Dürer was already one of the superstars of the art world during his lifetime. His works were in great demand and were often copied or falsified. Albertina Albertina head curator Christof Metzger examplifies this with three originals and three falsifications of Dürer artworks.

Together with Albertina curator Laura Ritter, we direct All Eyes On two completely exceptional works from the seventeenth century by French artist Claude Mellan.

One thing can be revealed already: The quality of the exhibited works is simply impressive! Be inspired by our film feature with Albertina Director Klaus Albrecht Schröder, you will be rewarded with the best of printmaking from six centuries in this exhibition.
