Click on an image above or a title at the left to view the work.

Should you find that title a bit ambiguous, it is quite intentionally so.  Art, consciously or not, invariably interprets the world, but the drawings and prints of the seventeenth century do so in such varied styles and techniques as to constitute a large and precariously balanced structure on the necessarily smaller foundation of sixteenth-century art.  And so much more of the world is interpreted, including prior works of art.  The exhibit, of course, is a sampling; we do not have the resources of a museum.  But, it is hoped, you will find things to interest you, to tell you things you did not know before and perhaps to acquire.
