The Whangarei Art Museum is very proud to present Drawn from Italy: Mantegna to
Kauffmann This selection of drawings and prints from Te Papa's collection illustrates the
influence of Italian ideas about art and artists that spread throughout Europe from the time of
the Renaissance. Drawn from Italy features works dating from the late 15th century to the late
18th century. They were created by artists who were Italian, or worked in Italy, or derived their
subjects from Italian sources.

Developed and presented by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa
