Description:
This is Frankfurt's most important art gallery, containing a fine collection of most European schools of painting. The first floor features French Impressionists such as Renoir and Monet, along with German painters of the 19th and 20th centuries. Note in particular Kirchner's Nude Woman with Hat. Also on the first floor is Tischbein's Portrait of Goethe in the Campagna in Italy. If you're short on time, go directly to the second floor to view the outstanding collection of Flemish primitives, 17th-century Dutch artists, and 16th-century German masters such as Dürer, Grünewald, Memling, Elsheimer, and many others. One of the most impressive paintings is Jan van Eyck's Madonna (1433). Lucas Cranach the Elder is represented by a large winged altarpiece and his rather impish nude Venus. Recent acquisitions include Jean Antoine Watteau's L'Ile de Cythère (1709). In the Department of Modern Art are works by Bacon, Dubuffet, Tapies, and Yves Klein.
