Prints & Drawings
The Department of Prints and Drawings houses over 8,000
prints and 7,000 drawings by European and American artists ranging
from French fourteenth-century illuminated manuscripts to prints
by contemporary Latin American artists. The quality and breadth
of the collection were established in the 1930s and 1940s by
gifts and bequests from Junius Morgan, Dan Fellows Platt, Frank
Jewett Mather, Jr., and Clifton R. Hall. Among the strengths
of the Princeton collection are old master prints, including
large holdings of etchings and engravings by Jacques Callot
and Hendrick Goltzius, in addition to fine impressions of works
by such master printmakers as Martin Schongauer, Albrecht Dürer,
Rembrandt, and Goya; Italian seventeenth-and eighteenth-century
Italian drawings, with outstanding groups by Guercino, Salvator
Rosa, Giambattista and Giandomenico Tiepolo; Spanish Renaissance
and Baroque drawings; eighteenth-and nineteenth-century French
and British prints and drawings; and over 1,000 American drawings,
sketchbooks, and watercolors, including examples by Winslow
Homer, Edward Hopper, and Georgia O’Keeffe. Exhibitions
of prints and drawings are organized annually, often with accompanying
publications. Works not on view are available for consultation
by appointment in the study room
of the department. |
