Prints from the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection

About the exhibition

The University of Nebraska Art Galleries presented prints from the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection in Lincoln in 1959. The documented selection includes early European engravings and other original prints, preserving each particular museum object. Exact surviving examples are Martin Schongauer’s The Madonna (c. 1490/1491; engraving on laid paper) and Israhel van Meckenem’s The Crucifixion (c. 1475; engraving on laid paper). This is a partial checklist reconstructed from the objects’ museum histories; precise opening and closing days remain unknown.
