Description
|
The
Neue Pinakothek was built in 1981
replacing a previous building that had
been destroyed during
WWII. Both the Alte and Neue
Pinokotheks were damaged in the
bombing, but whilst the Alte Pinakothek
was rebuilt, the original Neue
was demolished and replaced with this
building designed by Alexander Freiherr von
Branca. The museum says that it, " ... shows some 400
paintings and sculptures
from the 19th century ranging from
Classicism to Jugendstil. Among the
particular highlights are the paintings of
the German Romantics and
French Impressionism. They include works
by Caspar David Friedrich,
Edouard Manet, Paul Cezanne and Vincent
van Gogh." |
