Prints of Darkness: Imaging Satan
November 7, 2009 - January 24, 2010
On view in the Kienbusch galleries is a new installation on the darker side of prints from the fifteenth through the nineteenth centuries. These compelling graphic images, including master works by Jacques Callot, William Blake, and John Martin, illustrate the changing appearance of Satan in Western art from the Renaissance to the Romantic era. These works, all part of the Museum's collection, allow visitors to explore artists' interpretations of Satan as diabolical iconography was made available to a wider audience with the advent of printmaking.
