Focus on the Collection: Albrecht Dürer Prints

Albrecht Dürer (1471 – 1528) is acknowledged as one of the foremost German artists of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Acclaimed as a painter and draughtsman, Dürer was most admired for his abilities as a printmaker. The collection of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria contains 26 original Dürer prints, made possible through the gifts of several generous donors.
