Description

Dive into the fascinating world of European painting and discover the treasures of the Alte Pinakothek with me. As an art history student at LMU, I'll show you not only the most famous works, but also the hidden details and stories that make these paintings so special. We'll start our tour with the old German masters, where Albrecht Dürer's impressive self-portraits and religious scenes await you. I'll explain how Dürer brought the Italian Renaissance to Germany and why his works are still so powerful today. Then we'll move through the magnificent halls to the Flemish masters. In front of Peter Paul Rubens' monumental paintings, you'll learn how the artist captured emotions with dramatic compositions and bright colors. The dynamic scenes almost seem alive. In the Dutch section, you'll encounter Rembrandt and his masterful lighting productions. I'll show you how the artist created psychological depth through chiaroscuro and why his portraits are so haunting.
