Rubens. A global superstar in Dresden!
The year 2027 sees the 450th anniversary of the birth of Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640), the great innovator of European painting. To mark this occasion, Dresden is paying tribute to him by organising a major exhibition.
Die Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister
The Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden is collaborating with German and international partners in planning a superlative show featuring around 100 works. Centre stage in the exhibition will be taken by the artist’s masterpieces in Dresden, such as ‘The Drunken Hercules,’ ‘Old Woman with a Basket of Coal,’ and ‘A Boar Hunt,’ complemented by top-class loans. Following several spectacular restorations, viewers will be treated to a new perspective on Dresden’s important Rubens collection and a comprehensive insight into Rubens’ multifaceted career as an artist, diplomat, and cosmopolitan.
