Albrecht Dürer's Success Stories

01.03.2026 - 07.06.2026

The enduring and transnational fame of the Nuremberg artist Albrecht Dürer has its roots above all in his extensive printed graphic work, of which the Otto Schäfer Collection in Schweinfurt possesses an almost complete corpus. Arranged by groups of works, this exhibition uniquely offers an overview of Dürer’s printed oeuvre and provides explanatory approaches for his artistic success during his lifetime. Even after his death in 1528, Dürer’s work continued to serve as a model, especially in 19th century art. To illustrate this further peak in his success story, Dürer’s works are juxtaposed with those of the Georg Schäfer Collection, which document the artistic engagement with the Nuremberg master in the period from 1800 to 1920.
