The collection of the German School is an artistic journey through history. It is a collection that dispenses with the strict demarcation of epochs and artistic styles. United is the art that was created in a period before 1945. This includes the outstanding artists who set an artistic high point in the cultural scene from the 15th century onwards. Dürer and the Cranach brothers are among these masters who enriched the German art scene with their love of painting and the creation of special works. The German School also includes the many painters and artists who created wonderful work without coming to the fore by name. Painters of botany and wildlife who, through their profound knowledge and background in natural science, have left behind unique depictions of nature. Pictures of plants, flowers and animals, which due to their subject matter did not meet the social taste, but from today's perspective are an aesthetic gem.
