Scripture for the Eyes:
Bible Illustration in Netherlandish Prints of the Sixteenth
Century
Museum of Biblical Art
1865 Broadway at 61st Street
June 5 – September 27, 2009
www.mobia.org
Scripture for the Eyes will be the first major
exhibition to explore the central role played by printed
illustrations of subjects from both the Old and New
Testaments in one of the most dramatic artistic and
religious transformations in European history. Prints
are often viewed as merely mimicking or following artistic
developments in the more prestigious medium of painting,
and, more generally, the visual arts are seen as mirroring
societal change. Through approximately 90 engravings,
woodcuts, and illustrated Bibles and books by Lucas
van Leyden, Maarten van Heemskerck, Philips Galle, Hendrick
Goltzius, Hieronymus Wierix, and others, these views
are challenged, and the biblical prints are shown to
have been a dynamic force both in the transformation
of Northern European art between Albrecht Dürer
and Rembrandt van Rijn and in the intensified attention
to Scripture in the religious turmoil of the Reformation
and Counter-Reformation. For more information, please
visit www.mobia.org.

Arts Initiative at Columbia University and American Ballet
Theatre are pleased to partner to bring the best in classical
dance to the Columbia community!

program, and reaches out into a diverse international culture.
Among its aims are to make the arts part of the experience
of every Columbia student's education and to promote a life-long
involvement in the arts. For more information on The Arts
