Drawings & Words

17 February–22 July, 10:00–17:00
Exhibition
Christ Church Picture Gallery

The combination of image and writing is an evocative visual tool, found in medieval book illuminations, contemporary art and in the everyday of advertisement. This exhibition will explore some forms of this pleasing aesthetic, with drawings by Michelangelo, Leonardo, Veronese, Rosso Fiorentino and many more.
