World famous masterpieces

These experiences have been drawn upon in creating the completely redesigned new permanent exhibition. The design concept follows the principle of hanging paintings according to geographical origin and school, while also drawing attention to certain important themes in each period. World famous masterpieces, such as Raphael’s Sistine Madonna, Rembrandt‘s Ganymede and the views of Dresden by Bernardo Bellotto will function as focal points, emphasising the unique status and significance of these painters and their works for European art history.

Furthermore, the exhibition will highlight the mutual influences of painting and sculpture, as well as underlining the importance of antique sculpture for Renaissance and Baroque painting. In the Sculpture Hall in the east wing, the important collection of antiquities will again be on display. This hall was originally intended and planned by Gottfried Semper to house the historic plaster casts from the Mengs collection – however, these objects were removed from there in the late 19th century.

Religious art around 1500

Currently, two rooms in the Winckelmann Forum of the Old Masters Picture Gallery will once again be showing paintings that have not been on display for some time: Masterpieces, primarily of German and Dutch art, created in the late 15th century and the early northern Alpine Renaissance at the beginning of the 16th century. On display are altars and paintings with religious themes by Albrecht Dürer, Lucas Cranach the Elder and his son, Cranach the Younger, Georg Breu, Sigmund Holbein, Rogier van Weyden, Joos van Cleve and other early Netherlandish artists.

Small bronzes and marble sculptures juxtaposed with paintings

In 2016, a selection of these plaster casts returned to the Gemäldegalerie and will be on show there in the future. Small bronzes and marble sculptures from the Renaissance and Baroque periods complement the exhibition, many of them being directly juxtaposed with paintings. Dozens of paintings, sculptures and antique vases have undergone thorough restoration specifically for presentation in the new exhibition, and the famous gallery frames from the 18th century have also been renovated.
