The Young Dürer

Next month The Courtauld Gallery in London opens an exhibition of early figure drawings by the great German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. The Young Dürer: Drawing the Figure looks at works he created during his journeyman years of around 1490-96, together with rare drawings and prints by his contemporaries, many of which have never been seen in the UK. Shown is Dürer's pen-and-ink drawing A Wise Virgin (1493). The standard entrance fee for the Gallery is £6 adults, £5 silver surfers and the rest. However, the charge for Mondays is only £3 (CLICK). That's the day to go.
