Even though they created their artwork a century apart, connections between Dürer and Rembrandt’s religious pieces are significant and intriguing. While the exhibition explores the extraordinary nature and output of each artist’s prints individually, the focus of The Inspired Line is the contrasts and parallels that can be drawn between Dürer and Rembrandt’s works. This exhibition is toured by Exhibits USA, which is the national touring division of Mid-America Arts Alliance, a non-profit regional arts organization. Visitors to The Inspired Line will enjoy a rare opportunity to view a combined 40 works which demonstrate several print techniques, including etching, woodcut, engraving, and drypoint. Many of the prints are presented as pairs of works in which Dürer and Rembrandt each executed his own version of the same subject matter, including The Death of the Virgin, St. Jerome, and The Crucifixion. On April 15 at 7pm, the featured Art Conversation will be on this exhibit & Rembrandt by Art Historian, Nancy Ross Ph.D. The Inspired Line: Selected Prints of Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt van Rijn from the Thrivent Financial Collection of Religious Art is organized by the Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and toured by Exhibit USA. The purpose of Exhibits USA is to create access to an array of arts and humanities exhibitions, nurture the development and understanding of diverse art forms and cultures, and encourage the expanding depth and breadth of cultural life in local communities. Exhibits USA is a national division of Mid-America Arts Alliance, a private, nonprofit organization based in Kansas City, Missouri and founded in 1972.
