The history of drawing, in common with the history of much else, is the history of what has survived.
In the sixteenth century, drawings came to be valued as works of art in their own right, and it was this journey from the artist's studio to the collector's portfolio that ensured the preservation of countless works of art.
This exhibition explores the functional uses and creative potential of drawing. From figure to landscape, from sketch to meticulously detailed study, it celebrates what has survived and hints at the significance of what has been lost.
Examining the value of drawing, this book charts the growth in appreciation of this fascinating art form and offers insight into the vision of both the artist and the collector.
