Hans Burgkmair - A painter of the Dürer period

Selected paintings by Hans Burgkmair, among them some of the monumental Basilica paintings from the Monastery of St Catherine in Augsburg, will go on display at the Alte Pinakothek due to the closure of the Augsburg Staatsgalerie for building work. From 3rd July to 30th September 2007 the works can be seen in the exhibition area of the Klenzeportal (Room 1).
As a contemporary of Hans Holbein, Albrecht Dürer and Lucas Cranach, Hans Burgkmair (1473-1531) is among the great painters of the early Renaissance period in Germany. Initially he worked primarily as a book illustrator and graphic artist. It was with the »Basilica of San Pietro« in 1501, his first monumental painting, that he came to the fore - almost by accident - as a painter and rival to the elder Hans Holbein. Innovative iconography and warmly toned colouring distinguish his works.
The Staatsgalerie Augsburg will re-open in the spring.

descripción del Museo

14th to 18th Century European Painting

The Alte Pinakothek houses one of the world´s most important collections. On display are more than 800 paintings, among them numerous well-known masterpieces of 14th to 18th Century European painting.

An exquisite collection of early Dutch painting including works by Rogier van der Weyden and Dieric Bouts can be found in close proximity to early German painting. This section includes Albrecht Dürer´s famous “Self Portrait” of 1500 and his “Four Apostles,” as well as masterpieces by Michael Pacher, Albert Altdorfer und Lucas Cranach. The scope and quality of Munich 's Flemish art collection, which includes works by Rubens, Van Dyck and Jordeans, makes it unique. The museums holdings also include the “Canigani Holy Family,” which was the first painting by Raphael to be brought to Germany . The Alte Pinakothek also boasts masterpieces by Titian and Tintoretto, Rembrandt and Frans Hals, Murillo and Velasquez, Chardin and Boucher.

This superb and extensive collection makes it possible to explore the development of painting from the Middle Ages through to the end of the Rococo era. This art historical path is then continued through the 19th century with works displayed in the Neue Pinakothek and into the 20th century and contemporary times with works displayed in the Pinakothek der Moderne.

The Alte Pinakothek owns the most extensive collection of old German painting (ex. Stefan Lochner, Albrecht Dürer, Albrecht Altdorfer, Cranach, Holbein, Matthias Grünewald, Michael Pacher, Hans von Aachen, Adam Elsheimer).
