Northern Renaissance: Dürer to Holbein The Queen's Gallery Opening Friday 17 June The 15th and 16th centuries were a time of dramatic change in Northern Europe. Monarchs vied for territorial power, religious reformers questioned the central tenets of the church and scholars sought greater understanding of their world. Against this backdrop, artists produced works of extraordinarily diverse subject matter and superb technical skill. Northern Renaissance: Dürer to Holbein brings together over 100 works by the greatest Northern European artists of the period. Among the highlights are prints and drawings by Albrecht Dürer, mythological paintings by Lucas Cranach the Elder, and preparatory drawings by Hans Holbein the Younger displayed alongside the finished oil portraits. 1 YEAR PASS! Enjoy free re-admission for a year if you buy your tickets directly from us. Simply ask us to stamp your ticket on your first visit. www.royalcollection.org.uk.

Curated by David Lomas and Dawn Ades
Cecil Beaton | Bill Brandt | Claude Cahun | Salvador Dali | Charles Henri Ford | Florence Henri Jess | Yayoi Kusama | Willard Maas | Pierre Molinier | Paul Nash | George Platt Lynes | Pipilotti Rist
The myth of Narcissus, as told by Ovid, of a beautiful youth infatuated by his reflection in a stream, who pines away and is metamorphosed into a flower, is open to many interpretations and has captivated a, perhaps surprising, number of modern and contemporary artists. This group exhibition examines the potency of the Narcissus myth in art, photography, installation, film and video.
