През годините на своето съществуване тя се превърна в дружелюбна колегиална общност, обединяваща студенти, докторанти, учители, университетски преподаватели, изследователи от институтите на БАН, а така също и колеги, живеещи и работещи в чужбина. Събиращото ни в едно цяло е не само професионалният дълг, но и личната отдаденост на изучаването на културноисторическото наследство на античния свят, продължило битуването си и в следващите епохи чак до ... |

A polymath of the German Renaissance, Albrecht Dürer (1471 - 1528) was a prolific artist, theorist, and writer whose works explored everything from religion to art theory to philosophy. His vast body of work includes altarpieces, portraits, self-portraits, watercolors, and books, but is most celebrated for its astonishing collection of woodcut prints, which transformed printmaking from an artisan practice into a whole new art form. Dürer’s woodcuts astonish in scale as much as detail. Through works such as Apocalypse and ... |
