Curator Albert Elen in gallery 2 of The Collection Two

In The Collection Two of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, the collection of prints and drawings has a significant place. Mainly this fragile collection is not accessible to the audience. Senior curator prints and drawings Albert Elen shows a little gallery in the beginning of the collection, which exhibits paintings, prints and drawings from the 15th century. Elen dwells on a renowned print of Antonio del Pollaiolo, ‘Battle of the naked man’, that is considered to be one of the highlights of the Renaissance. Although the 16th century writer Vasari mentions that Pollaiolo made more prints, it is presumed that this is the only one he made. Furthermore Elen talks about the exquisite work of Fra Angelico and Benozzo Gozzoli.
