From February 21st to June 24th 2018, "ALBRECHT DÜRER and the Renaissance between Germany and Italy" Exhibition will be held in Milan. The exhibition aims to introduce the great figure of Albrecht Dürer to the public for the first time. Dürer was considered as the leading exponent of the German and European Renaissance at its height. His prolific career marked a moment of great effervescence in socio-economic, artistic, cultural and intellectual terms in the German Renaissance but it was also a time of great openness towards Europe, both in the South (Northern Italy) and in the North (the Netherlands).

The exhibition highlights the reciprocal relationships between his work and those of his great contemporary masters through drawings, engravings, paintings and graphics.

Dürer's production will be flanked by a selection of oeuvres by Cranach, Giorgione, Lorenzo Lotto and other masters.
