Albrecht Durer exhibition to open in Edinburgh

Art buffs staying in Edinburgh hostels may enjoy a new Albrecht Durer exhibition that is set to open in the city.

Durer's Fame is due to open in the National Gallery of Scotland on June 9th and it will run until October 11th. It is free to attend.

The German painter was one of the most influential artists of the Northern Renaissance and the exhibition will showcase around 30 of his prints, drawings and paintings.

A statement from the gallery said: "As well as featuring a selection of Durer's magnificent prints, this display also includes contemporary and later copies of his work, shown alongside imitations and a likely forgery, as well as portraits and works that reflect Durer's art."

The exhibition will also include works by Scottish artists John Runciman and William Bell Scott, as well as famous examples of other Italian and Netherlandish artists.

Durer was born in 1471. His works include altarpieces and religious works, portraits and self-portraits.
