Engraving & Interpretation in the High Renaissance (Morlanwelz, Domaine & Musée royal de Mariemont, 14 February–10 May 2026). Curated by Laure Fagnart and Stefania Tullio Cataldo with the collaboration of the Université de Liège

Engaging a broader public with the complexities of early modern printmaking remains a challenge, largely owing to the small scale of prints and their monochrome appearance.Yet, prints circulated widely in the early modern period, disseminating subjects and iconographies across geographical and cultural boundaries through mechanisms that, to some extent, resemble those of contemporary mass media.The curators of the exhibition Engraving & Interpretation in the High Renaissance, Laure Fagnart and Stefania Tullio Cataldo, addressed these challenges directly, seeking innovative ways of making Renaissance print culture accessible to a wider audience.1
