Printing Icons: Modern Process, Medieval Image explores the way print and icon painting interacted over the seventeenth to early twentieth centuries. It showcases works from across the Balkans, Eastern Europe and Russia to illuminate how traditional techniques, such as printing icons after traced panels, shaped perceptions of woodblocks and engravings, and how Western techniques transformed icon painting itself.

Printing Icons brings together over sixty works from six institutions and private collections to explore the methods used to create iconic prints. The exhibition examines the tensions between printers employing traditional techniques and those who relied on adjacent processes and the relationship between standalone prints and book illustrations.
