INSIDE THE NATIONAL GALLERY’S WEST BUILDING, a banner proclaims: “Fabulous Journeys and Faraway Places: Travel on Paper 1450-1700.” Perhaps some might skip this invitation in search of something more contemporary. But that would be a mistake.
Virginia Grace Tuttle, associate curator of old master prints at the National Gallery, has chosen and arranged roughly 60 works to lead viewers on a journey through European perceptions and depictions of travel. The works on display, most from the gallery’s own collection, include woodcuts, engravings, etchings, and mezzotints.
