Summary: Lucas van Leyden (c. 1494-1533) was recognized at an early age as a child prodigy, and was well known in Europe for his graphic art. He introduced the iconography of the Italian Renaissance in the Northern Netherlands. Lucas’ prints showing Biblical and profane scenes stood out because of their unparalleled, refined engraving technique and narrative quality. Neighbourly love, lawlessness and, immorality and female wiles were some of his favourite topics. After 1520, Lucas van Leyden painted several impressive triptychs, such as the Last Judgement (De Lakenhal), The Dance around the Golden Calf (Rijksmuseum), and Christ healing of the Blind Man of Jericho (Hermitage, St. Petersburg). These three famous works will be on display together for the very first time.
