"1510 –1563: A Glimpse into the World of Drawings and Prints" In this collection of drawings and prints from the years 1510 to 1563, we are transported back in time to witness a variety of captivating scenes. One print showcases four women surrounding a seated figure, with a bird perched on their outstretched arms. The set-up is both mysterious and enchanting, leaving us wondering about the story behind it. Another print presents a bust of a woman in profile, facing left, framed elaborately. The intricate details draw our attention to her beauty and elegance. Moving on, we encounter an action-packed scene featuring a figure on horseback holding a sword while riding towards another figure lying down. The intensity captured in this print leaves us intrigued about the conflict between these two characters. Cupid Presenting Psyche to the Gods is depicted in another pen drawing from around 1540-45. This mythical tale comes alive as Cupid introduces Psyche to divine beings through delicate strokes of ink. A woman seated with her arms outstretched represents personification of Fame in yet another intriguing print. We can't help but wonder what accomplishments or deeds have brought her such recognition. Christ healing lepers takes center stage in one drawing/print where he stands tall on the right side while reaching out his hand towards those afflicted by disease on his left. This powerful image reminds us of compassion and miracles that transcend time. A young man offering his hand to a seated woman catches our eye next, as another woman stands nearby observing them closely. What could be unfolding between these three figures? Love? Friendship? Intrigue? The etching titled Apollo Daphne portrays an intense moment frozen in time - Apollo chasing after Daphne who transforms into laurel trees for protection against his advances. The artist skillfully captures their emotions within such limited space.
