Masterpieces of Dresden Picture Gallery "Old Masters"

More about the book

Featuring unique pieces such as Raphael's "Sixtine Madonna," Giorgione's "Sleeping Venus," and Titian's "Tribute Money," this catalog showcases the Old Masters Collection of the Dresden Picture-Gallery, one of the most important art collections in the world. The array provides a valuable overview of the old masters' works, capturing the gallery building itself, which was designed by Gottfried Semper and acts as an architectural enhancement to the great paintings. Including works acquired by August the Strong and his son in the 18th century, this study also spotlights acquisitions that date back to the 16th century.
