===Prints and drawings===
The NGV's Department of Prints and Drawings is responsible for one third of the gallery's collection. Highlights among the department's holdings include one of the world's largest collections of engravings and woodcuts by [[Albrecht Dürer|Dürer]].<ref>Zdanowicz, Irena. ''Albrecht Dürer in the Collection of the National Gallery of Victoria''. National Gallery of Victoria, 1994. {{ISBN|9780724101696}}.</ref> The NGV is also said to have one of the most impressive collections of works by [[William Blake]], including 36 of the 102 watercolours he worked on up until his death in 1827 to illustrate the ''[[Divine Comedy]]'' by [[Dante]], the largest number of works from this series held by any gallery in the world.<ref>[http://artsreview.com.au/ngv-to-showcase-its-william-blake-collection/ "NGV to showcase its William Blake collection"] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180408205939/http://artsreview.com.au/ngv-to-showcase-its-william-blake-collection/ |date=8 April 2018 }} (25 March 2014), ''Arts Review''.

The NGV no longer dedicates a space to exhibiting works from the Prints and Drawings collection, though some works on paper are rotated within the permanent collection galleries and may appear in exhibitions.<ref name=":1" /> Works in the collection may be viewed by appointment in the department's Print Study Room.<ref name=":1" />
