This event has ended.

Spanning five centuries of printmaking, Dürer, Rembrandt, Tiepolo: The Jansma Master Prints Collection from the Grand Rapids Art Museum will feature the complete Jansma Collection, including works by Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, Édouard Manet, and Max Pechstein, as well as a series of 21 engravings by William Blake, to underscore the Bible’s enduring influence on Western artists.

The exhibition will also feature Dürer’s woodcut print and accompanying block for The Martyrdom of St. Catherine of Alexandria (c. 1498) from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as other loans, to showcase the process and complexity of printmaking. A selection of rare bibles from the American Bible Society’s Collection will be paired with each print series to further illustrate the breadth and range of the Collection—from a 15th-century German Bible displayed alongside the Dürer works to a 19th-century English Bible accompanying the Blake series.

Established in 2005, The Jansma Print Collection comprises 57 etchings, engravings, and woodcuts, including the recently acquired Illustrations of the Book of Job (1825) by William Blake. The exhibition will reflect the Jansma family’s desire to bring together works representing the diverse styles and techniques, as well as outstanding level of ingenuity and skill exemplified in prints from the 16th- to the 20th-centuries.
