Inviting the public to discover first-state etchings as well as a number of preparatory drawings and copper plates used to create the Iconography, this exhibition offers an unprecedented view into the genesis and development of this singular series. Curator(s) : Pascal Torres, curator of the Edmond de Rothschild Collection and of the Chalcography at the Musée du Louvre. ____________________ Musée du Louvre, Psris www.louvre.fr/
