The Drawing Center

The Northern Landscape was the first U.S. presentation of 120 works selected from the extensive collections of the Courtauld Institute, London. The exhibition included drawings by sixty-six artists dating from the early sixteenth to the nineteenth century. The exhibition captured a brilliantly varied graphic panorama of the Northern European view of nature inspired by the local landscapes of the lowlands and England as well as artists’ travel abroad, particularly to Italy. Included in the exhibition were drawings by Bruegel, van Heemskerk, de Momper, Bloemaert, van Goyen, Lievens, Koninck, and Turner.
