Pre-Modern Era Prints

The earliest fine art print held by the Permanent Collection is a block print from the Nuremberg Chronicles by Michael Wolgemut from the late 15th century, which displays an early example of the then new technology – printmaking. Other standouts in our pre-modern collection include notable works by Corot, Daumier, Goya, Manet, Millet, Piranesi, and Tiepolo.
