Portraits! Surprising Encounters from Botticelli to Lempicka

About 90 portraits spanning six centuries, from Botticelli and Dürer to Lempicka, hung in unexpected pairs across eras and regions.

Drawn mainly from the Gemäldegalerie’s own portraits, with loans from the Alte and Neue Nationalgalerie, the Egyptian Museum and the Sculpture Collection, the pairings run through four sections: Renaissance types north and south of the Alps, elite self-display, family and friendship, and collectors and artists.

Anthonis Mor’s Margaret of Parma faces Moroni’s Don Gabriel de la Cueva; Sofonisba Anguissola’s mother meets Eugen Spiro’s wife. Curated by Sven Jakstat and Stephan Kemperdick.
