Overview

A spectacular group of some 50 Flemish, Dutch, Early Netherlandish, and German drawings and watercolours, spanning from about 1500 to 1700, will be exhibited in Scotland for the first time. They have been selected from the collection of drawings at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, home to the Devonshire family, one of the finest and most significant holdings of drawings anywhere in the world. This exhibition is exclusive to the National Galleries of Scotland and will not travel elsewhere. Look forward to stunning drawings by, among others, Albrecht Dürer, Hans Holbein the Younger, and Sir Peter Paul Rubens, alongside no less than eleven works by Anthony van Dyck, and nine by Rembrandt.
