About
Through a panorama of iconic works (by Kröner, Leibl, Fohr and Liebermann) on loan from German and Swiss museums, covering the period 1830-1914, the exhibition showcases a distinctively Germanic way of representing hunting.
The second section of the exhibition is dedicated to one of the masters of the Dresden School, the painter Ferdinand von Rayski (1806-1890). The figure of Rayski and his work punctuates that of Baselitz, from the beginning of his career until today.
