Drawing Life, Sketching Wonder

More than 60 works on loan from the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium sit at the heart of this historically informative exhibition. 

Showcasing artists from across the 16th and 17th centuries - and artworks created using charcoal, ink and chalk - the show explores the magic of drawing, both as an artistic tool and as a means of storytelling during what was a period of significant social, political and religious change. 

The exhibition includes Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s Prudence (1559/60) - a rare work from his celebrated Seven Virtues series - as well as pieces by Rembrandt, Rubens and Jordaens. 

Complementary loans of paintings, prints and drawings from numerous UK-located collections, including London’s National Gallery, also feature.
