Drawing in The Italian Renaissance

In 15th Century Italy, new artistic thinking about drawings developed and this exhibition charts the increasing importance of drawing during this period.

What began as a means of preserving artistic ideas became the ideal way to perfect more naturalistic forms and perspective – a new approach by painters, sculptors and architects.
