Bilderspaziergang | Gemälde erzählen Geschichten
In the organizer's words:
"The street leads the stroller into a time that has vanished." With the words of Walter Benjamin, the museums of the city of Bamberg cordially invite you to take a stroll through the newly arranged picture gallery. The exhibition shows works from the municipal collections. They tell stories, conceal them or encourage visitors to rethink their own stories and invent new ones. Because walking creates new perspectives.
Outstanding paintings from the Middle Ages to the 20th century bear witness to the knowledgeable passion for collecting of Bamberg's citizens, especially in the 19th century. Their donations still form an important part of the collection today, which is displayed in a half-timbered wing of the former court of Emperor Henry II.
The early highlights of the department include paintings from the workshop of Lucas Cranach and important works of Franconian panel painting. Works by Bartholomäus Bruyn the Elder and Ridolfo Ghirlandaio are representative of the emerging interest in individual portraits in the Renaissance period. They invite an exciting comparison with portraits from the 17th to 20th centuries.
The Dutch are represented by Pieter Breughel the Younger and typical examples of genre, still life and marine painting. The Bamberg Treu family of painters, whose members were mainly active in the 18th and early 19th centuries, forms a focal point of the exhibition. The exhibition concludes with outstanding works from the 20th century, such as those by the Worpswede artist Otto Modersohn.
