Old National Gallery

With specific interests and goals, we made rather short work of the Old National Gallery...

Approaching the Old National Gallery

Josef Danhauser, Liszt at the Piano, 1840; the ladies swooning

Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann, Twin Portrait of the Brother Grimm,
1855

Caspar David Friedrich, Greifswald Harbor, 1818;
an almost exact contemporary of Turner...wonder
whether they ever met

Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Cathedral by the Water, 1813

The Lenbach Wagner, 1895

Lorenz Gedon, Wagner bust, 1883

Lenbach 's Bismarck, 1884
Max Liebermann, The Flax Spinners in Laren, 1887 

The museum has an entire large hall of French Impressionsists...
Monet's View of Vetheuil sur Seine, 1880 

Manet's In the Conservatory, 1879

Cezanne, Mill on the Couleuvre at Pontoise, 1881 








































































































































































































Renoir, Chesnut Tree in Bloom, 1881
We'd read that the the former Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has an
apartment on Museum Island overlooking the Pergamon; we think
this was it...
