This exhibition is an embodiment of the Irbit Museum's thirty-year effort in collecting, restoring and studying monuments of the world's drawing.
The goal pursued in this exhibition project is to give a succinct picture of three years of European engravings with national-school specifics.
The 180 outstanding sheets show engravings from Germany, Italy, The Netherlands (Flanders and Holland), France, Britain and Spain - the largest national schools doing a foremost contribution to the world art.
In this exhibition you will see Rembrandt's etchings Weighter of Gold and Christ in Emmaus, Gianbattista Tieppolo's sheets from the Vari Capricci series, Jacques Callot's The Ascension of Virgin Mary, Antonis van Deik' portraits, etchings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Francois Boucher and Francisco Jose de Goya, Francois Langot's grandiose etching The Mocking of Christ, which is the world's only copy.
The exhibition was a success in the Russian cities of Perm, Togliatti, and Ryazan.
The Art Gallery's exhibition will continue until June 1.
