"additional_text": "About the Work \n Sensual, tantalising and sweet: the scent of roses. Their open pink blossoms stretch towards the nose of the clergyman, who dreamily inhales their fragrance. Pink is also the colour of the dress worn by the girl in the arbour, who imagines herself unobserved in her sweetheart\u2019s arms. Only on closer inspection do we realise that the rose lover is in fact a secret witness to the scene. What at first glance looks like a romantic moment of the pious enjoyment of nature abruptly dissolves into a depiction of human desires which must remain unsatisfied: sniffing is allowed, but not touching. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n As legal counsel for the Farbwerke Hoechst, Privy Councillor Adolf Haeuser made a fortune. In keeping with their will, after the death of Adolf Haeuser in 1938 and his wife, Luisa, in 1953, their property was divided up among several foundations whose establishment was likewise stipulated. One was the Adolf und Luisa Haeuser-Stiftung f\u00fcr Kunst- und Kulturpflege. Since that time, this foundation has acquired several paintings which are on view at the St\u00e4del in the form of loans. The museum also received paintings from the couple\u2019s private estate."

The brown shape in the background, which resembles the head of a fish or monster, helps to solve the puzzle. It is the fragment of a carved table base and reveals that the painting was cut out of a larger canvas. Scenes of animals parodying human behaviour are frequently encountered in Flemish painting. In that context, mice and rats are generally associated with vices such as drunkenness and gluttony. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n Paul Bottenwieser was an art dealer in Berlin, about whom surprisingly little information survives. He gave the painting \u2018The Dance of the Rats\u2019 to the St\u00e4del Museum in 1922. This extraordinary picture holds a strong fascination for many viewers. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:39 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 02:09"

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n The artist Giovanni Battista Moroni painted the portraits of an unusually large number of ordinary people throughout his native region between Bergamo and Albino, but they have all remained anonymous. This is also true of this lay brother wearing the white habit of his monastic order. In this likeness the artist chose an attractive three-quarter pose instead of the rigorous profile. He was thus able to show to better effect the monk's weather-beaten face with its strong facial features and raised eyebrow. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n Johann David Passavant (1787\u20131861) trained for a commercial career in Frankfurt, but then worked as a painter and art historian. The year 1839 saw the publication of his book \u2018Raphael of Urbino and his father Giovanni Santi\u2019 (English edition, 1872), which he dedicated to the St\u00e4del Museum\u2019s \u201cmost estimable administration\u201d. In 1840 Passavant assumed the position of St\u00e4del \u2018gallery inspector\u2019. He donated this painting to the museum during his lifetime, and his bequest of 1861 brought the St\u00e4del further Old Master works."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Ludwig Josef Pfungst, a businessman in Worms, died on 4 July 1905. A childless bachelor, he left his entire art collection and his fortune of around a million marks to the city of Frankfurt. It was his wish that the interest on the money be used to purchase works of contemporary art. This legacy was a major factor leading to the foundation of the St\u00e4dtische Galerie, which has been part of the St\u00e4delsches Kunstinstitut since 1907. Still in existence today, the Pfungst Foundation now mainly supports purchases of modern art for the St\u00e4del museum\u2019s Collection of Prints and Drawings. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio Video \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:05 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 01:18 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Gastkommentar: Sexualdelikte in der Kunst mit Strafrechtlerin Tatjana H\u00f6rnle \n \n \n Triggerwarnung: In diesem Video geht es um sexualisierte Gewalt.\n.\nWas sieht eine Strafrechtlerin in den Kunstwerken der St\u00e4del Sammlung?

Especially after the Second World War, intensive efforts began with regard to the artist, culminating in an Elsheimer exhibition in 1966. In those days, no one could have foreseen that a small miracle would soon take place. Between 1971 and 1981 the St\u00e4del was able to reunite the seven-part Altar of the Holy Cross, familiar from archive material, by purchasing the five remaining panels scattered across the world. The Museums-Verein, which had been founded in 1899 and reorganised in 1957, played the main role in financing the purchase with its specific fundraising campaigns. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:43 \n \n \n \n Focus on Frankfurt \n 01:57 \n \n \n \n Focus on material \n 01:55 \n \n \n \n Highlights of the St\u00e4del Collection \n 02:44"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n The young painter Andreas Achenbach (1815\u20131910) completed this painting in a studio at the St\u00e4delschule and it was purchased immediately by the St\u00e4del. With precise strokes, it shows a ship struggling against the raging sea to avoid being smashed against the rough cliffs. The deliberate lighting emphasises the surge and the mighty rocks, thus, heightening the feeling of agitation while witnessing these events. The large format further intensifies this impression of the depicted force of nature. Achenbach repeatedly painted detailed seascapes of this kind. They are skilfully staged: it was not until two years after the painting\u2019s creation that Achenbach actually travelled to Norway."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n The portrait of the Antwerp history painter Frans Francken had already been copied several times in the Rubens workshop and continued to inspire later generations of artists to do the same. However, in its execution, the 17th-century copy seems unfinished. The rendering of the face is less vivid and forceful than in the original. From 1817 to 1933, the St\u00e4del Museum owned another version of the portrait, which must have served Victor M\u00fcller as the starting point for his copy made at the affiliated St\u00e4delschule. Copying paintings after Old Masters was an important part of the education at art academies of the time: it trained aesthetic perception and familiarized the student with the basics of technique."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Art collecting was popular among the well-to-do burghers of Frankfurt during the eighteenth century, but only in the case of the banker and spice merchant Johann Friedrich St\u00e4del (1728-1816) did the private art collection end up as an art institute that was open to the public. St\u00e4del decreed in his will in 1815 that his collection should be \"open for use and inspection by prospective artists and art lovers on specific days and at specific times freely and without charge, under appropriate supervision\". The bordello picture is a typical work of the artist, who was active in Antwerp during the second quarter of the sixteenth century and who is known by a name of convenience as the \"Brunswick Monogrammist\". His oeuvre consists of small-format biblical scenes containing numerous figures and of works showing \"loose society\" with a sociocritical element or critical of the Church. In St\u00e4del's collection the picture was attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger. The collector was no doubt persuaded to purchase the panel picture for its evident genre-like character. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:01 \n \n \n \n Focus on Frankfurt \n 01:54"

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n When she married the Frankfurt citizen Franz Brentano in about 1800, noblewoman Antonia Josepha Edle von Birckenstock brought with her the famous art collection of her aristocratic father, Johann Melchior Ritter und Edler von Birckenstock. The Brentano-Birckenstock collection became one of the largest private art galleries in Frankfurt. Their daughter Josephine Brentano (1804-1879) married the Frankfurt merchant and chairman of the civic assembly Anton Theodor Brentano-Toccia (1809-1895). In 1870 the St\u00e4del acquired by auction some famous paintings from the Brentano-Birckenstock collection. This was followed in 1895 by an extensive donation. According to the inventory of art objects drawn up at the time, the small-format Baroque paintings mostly hung in the dining room of the Brentanos."

With \u201cAdam and Eve\u201d, Beckmann addresses one of his central motifs: the conflict between the sexes. Adam, bearing a resemblance to the artist, holds a tiny Eve in his hand. The serpent is an indicator of the imminent disaster\u00a0\u2013 the expulsion from Paradise. Beckmann intentionally designed a rather ungainly Adam. As the National Socialists massively opposed the artist, he created a deliberate antithesis to their ideal body image. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:00 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 01:33 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 01:37"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n The landscapes the Belgian Symbolist Khnopff painted around Fosset in the Ardennes at different times of his life are mostly deserted. This painting, too, seems strangely lifeless, in spite of the presence of the game warden. Seemingly withdrawn, he is standing stiff as a board in the meadow. As if he had been added to the unspectacular setting with hindsight, he is not even casting a shadow. This shows that the artist was concerned not with the representation of exterior reality but with inner awareness. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n At the request of Mathilde Rathenau (1845-1926), a native of Frankfurt, a number of paintings were presented to the St\u00e4del in 1926 in memory of her son Walther Rathenau (1867-1922). Walther Rathenau, an industrialist and one of the co-founders of the German Democratic Party, was appointed foreign minister in January 1922. In June of that year he was assassinated in Berlin by the Organisation Consul, whose aim was to fight the Weimar Constitution. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio Video \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:25 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 01:44 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 01:16 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KunstISt\u00fcck \u2013 Fernand Khnopff: Der Jagdaufseher \n \n \n Sammlungshighlights des St\u00e4del Museums in unterhaltsamen und informativen Filmen \u2013 das sind die Kunst|St\u00fccke.

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

Until his emigration to Basel in 1933, his home was a popular meeting place for Frankfurt's art lovers. In 1977 von Hirsch bequeathed to the museum an Old Italian painting in memory of the former St\u00e4del director Georg Swarzenski. He also decided that \"after his death the entire collection should be offered to art lovers and collectors in a major auction\". In June 1978 his collection, which included all genres, was auctioned at Sotheby's in London. The Federal Republic of Germany and the St\u00e4delsches Kunstinstitut jointly acquired 'Jacob's Dream' by Adam Elsheimer."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n This likeness of his favourite model, \"Therese Karl\", is one of the few portraits the artist ever painted. Uhde was generally known for his religious and genre-like scenes. Therese was a dancer at the Royal Court Theatre Ballet in Munich and probably also Uhde's mistress. In spite of the melancholy pose and black dress enlivened by delicate light reflexes falling through the airy white curtain, the young woman looks relaxed and anything but gloomy. Standing between Realism and Impressionism, Uhde masterfully captures the different textures, which lend the painting its lightness and transparency. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n This painting, acquired in Spring 1937, was formerly owned by Gustav R\u00fcdenberg (1886\u20131942), a private collector, persecuted by the Nazi regime for being Jewish. R\u00fcdenberg owned a flourishing mail-order business for cameras and optical instruments in Hanover. Because the Nazi Regime curtailed his freedom and placed him under increasing economic pressure, he had to sell several key works from his collection, including the \"Portrait of a Lady\". By December 1938, having also been forced to sell their home, and unable to emigrate, he and his wife Elsbeth Therese R\u00fcdenberg (1886\u20131942), moved into a rented apartment. In the fall of 1941, they were forcibly transferred to the Jewish ghetto while their remaining assets and belongings were seized by the Reich. On December 15, 1941, they were deported to the Riga Ghetto, where they were murdered. The \"Portrait of a Lady\" was restituted to their heirs in 2022. Thanks to their generosity, the Museum was able to reacquire it. This plaque shall honor the lives and fate of Gustav and Elsbeth Therese R\u00fcdenberg, of blessed memory, and all those murdered by the Nazis."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n This painting in the St\u00e4del Museum is a typical example of the French Rococo style and the popular, light-hearted garden parties of that era. The guests are on the swings or playing games and chatting. Nobody and nothing disturbs the harmony. The artist Jean-Baptiste Pater was described as the painter of \"f\u00eates galantes\", or \"courtship parties\". \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n Baroness Mathilde von Rothschild (1832\u20131924), a member of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein, left this painting to the St\u00e4del in her will. Her very significant art collection focused particularly on French and English painting of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The widow of the banker Wilhelm Carl von Rothschild (1828\u20131901), Mathilde was the richest woman in Frankfurt. She set up several foundations for charitable purposes or for the public good, and also contributed towards the founding of Frankfurt\u2019s university."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Having fled from France in 1689 for religious reasons, the Calvinist Gontard family soon rose to wealth and honour in its new home town of Frankfurt: the Gontards were ennobled as \"Imperial Knight of the Holy Roman Empire, Lord von Gontard\". Their city mansion, 'Zum wei\u00dfen Hirsch', lay in Gro\u00dfer Hirschgraben in the neighbourhood of those of the Goethe and Passavant families. The merchant and art collector Moritz von Gontard (1826-1886) was chairman of the five-man administrative committee of the St\u00e4delsches Kunstinstitut for many years until his death. Gontard made a gift to the museum on two occasions: once for the opening of the new building in Schaumainkai, completed in 1878, which he took as an opportunity to present the museum with Lucas Cranach's 'Venus'. Eight years later Moritz von Gontard died and bequeathed his art collection to the St\u00e4del. On 28 April 1887 the official press of Prussia confirmed that it was permissible to accept the bequest: \"The Administration of the St\u00e4delsches Kunst-Institut in Frankfurt am Main has been granted permission by the territorial lord to receive the 33 paintings with an approximate total value of 103,000 M which were bequeathed by the deceased merchant Friedrich Moritz Gontard in his last will and testament.\" The collection mainly contained works of Dutch and Flemish Baroque painting."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Cranach rarely staged Venus alone; she is usually accompanied by her son, Cupid. On this small panel, however, the maternal role has been omitted. The Olympian goddess instead uses her ethereal beauty for the purpose of seducing the viewer, before whose eyes she seems to be pausing momentarily from her dance with the veil. The most likely setting for such an intimate relationship between painting and viewer would have been the privacy of an art chamber belonging to a collector with a humanist education. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n The Gontard family property \u2018Zum weissen Hirsch\u2019 was situated on Grosser Hirschgraben in Frankfurt, near the Goethe and Passavant family residences. The businessman and art collector Moritz von Gontard (1826\u20131886) was chairman of the administrators of the St\u00e4delsches Kunstinstitut for many years. He made two gifts to the museum. On the occasion of the opening of the new building on Schaumainkai, completed in 1878, he donated Lucas Cranach\u2019s \u2018Venus\u2019. Upon his death eight years later, he left the St\u00e4del thirty-three works of the Dutch and Flemish Baroque. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 02:06"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n In the view of the Nazarene Philipp Veit, who was appointed director of the St\u00e4delsches Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt in 1830, the art of the future should be based entirely on the Christian Middle Ages. His fresco, which was transferred to canvas, shows an allegorical representation of the arts in the spirit of Christianity. Religion is represented by the pious female figure in the middle of the picture. With reference to the Bible, she breathes life into the three sister arts Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in the background and into Poetry, Music and Chivalry in the foreground on the left. The figures on the right edge of the picture observe the scene reverently as they wait to be converted by the sermon of St Boniface. An aged bard, symbolising the heathen cult, is bending low over his harp at front right. His position in the shadows and the broken strings of his instrument show that the end of his era has come. The fresco originally adorned the old premises of the Institute in Neue Mainzer Stra\u00dfe. There, too, the centre panel of the three-part work accompanied the allegories Germania and Italia. They represent the long-standing unity of the peoples of Germany and Italy."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

During his sojourn Vallotton painted more than thirty landscapes which later became known as \"decorative landscapes\". In these small-format works the artist compacted fields, mountains and sky to areas of colour which he allowed to collide directly with each other. Vallotton was less interested in the individual character of the landscape than in the interplay of colours and forms on the canvas, whose two-dimensional decorative style here still very much shows the influence of the Nabis."

There is no hint of the industrialisation which was also advancing into this rural region in the Netherlands province of Brabant. Shortly before Van Gogh encountered the Impressionists in France, he created a monument in earth tones to the hard-working peasants of his homeland. Although this painting does not yet demonstrate the radical approach of his later works, it nonetheless already hints at the \"lion's claws\", as a critic observed in 1923 after a visit to the St\u00e4del. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 02:23 \n \n \n \n Exhibition \u201cMAKING VAN GOGH: A German Love Story\u201d (2019) \n 01:55 \n \n \n \n Exhibition \u201cMAKING VAN GOGH: A German Love Story\u201d (2019) \n 02:04"

Returning to his native city in southern Germany, he became one of the leading masters there. The basket of fruit and the leaves ornamenting her hair put this anonymous beauty on the same footing as Flora or Ceres, the goddesses of fruitfulness and bounty. The red cloak enhances the appeal of this truly eye-catching young woman with the pearl earring \u2013 and yet she seems absorbed in her own thoughts."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Looming up out of the darkness, Louis Eysen encounters the viewer with a sceptical gaze. The wan light draws his light face out of the shadows and enables us to recognise the restlessness which contrasts with the sensuous lips and the dark eyes. Driven and introspective - that is how Leibl described Eysen, a St\u00e4del student he had met in Paris in 1869. The portrait of the artist should be seen in the context of the cult of friendship within Leibl's circle and reflects the close relationship of the artists to each other. Leibl's portraits in particular grant an intimate glimpse into the souls of his friends."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Is he afraid of the courage of his own convictions? With one leg already freed from the fetters, the young man stretches his slender body upwards - and at the same time denies the movement with the timid way in which he has placed his arms protectively around his head. With the expressive body language of her 'Resurrecting Youth', who recalls representations of Christ bearing the Cross and of the Last Judgement, Milly Steger captures the ambivalence of the mood between fear and hope that prevailed shortly after the First World War. Steger, who took over the studio of Georg Kolbe in Berlin in 1917, saw her artistic motivation in the \"penetration of the spheres of the soul\"."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

Yet even after his return to Holland, he did not have to rely on the market \u2013 thanks to a number of wealthy patrons \u2013 and was free to develop unusual compositions such as this lone figure of a tinker. Barefoot and dressed in tattered clothing, the young man sits on a stone, beside him a copper pot, gleaming in the sunlight, and his hammer and bellows. The figure stands out against the grey wall in the midst of a southern ambiance created by the light and the ruined viaduct."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Nicolas Poussin executed this painting in Rome in 1651 for Cassiano dal Pozzo, a well-known scholar and patron of the arts. Its literary source is the tragic Romeo-and-Juliet-like story of Pyramus and Thisbe, told by Ovid in his \u2018Metamorphoses\u2019. Poussin chose the dramatic moment in which Thisbe discovers her dead lover. He has thrown himself upon his sword in the belief that Thisbe has been torn to pieces by a lioness. Here, the artist brilliantly combined the tragedy experienced by the characters with an ideal landscape and a depiction of the forces of nature. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio Video \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:10 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 02:06 \n \n \n \n Focus on material \n 02:50 \n \n \n \n Highlights of the St\u00e4del Collection \n 02:11 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KunstISt\u00fcck \u2013 Nicolas Poussin: Gewitterlandschaft mit Pyramus und Thisbe \n \n \n Sammlungshighlights des St\u00e4del Museums in unterhaltsamen und informativen Filmen \u2013 das sind die Kunst|St\u00fccke.

"additional_text": "About the Work \n The Counter-Reformation confronted painters with a demand for new kinds of religious propaganda, and so they set out to find fresh ways of rendering familiar subjects. One such Baroque re-interpretation is this Virgin and Child by Guercino, Guercino, painted at the beginning of his stay in Rome (1621-23). The dramatic chiaroscuro, the intimate close-up view, and the simplicity of costume and action alike all contribute to the immediacy of the work\u2019s impact on the viewer. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n Barbara and Eduard Beaucamp discovered the 'Virgin with Child' in a Frankfurt art shop in 1981 and purchased it at well below its real value, since the work was believed to be a nineteenth-century copy. Eduard Beaucamp was a long-standing editor at the 'Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung'; the trained eye of the art critic - and that of his wife, Barbara, also a PhD art historian and a porcelain expert - recognised the outstanding quality of the painting. In 2010 they donated this precious work to the St\u00e4del Museum. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:28 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 02:03 \n \n \n \n Exhibition \u201cTitian and the Renaissance in Venice\u201d (2019) \n 01:55"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n What violence! What drama! The superhuman strength with which God endowed the Old Testament judge Samson resides in his uncut hair. His mistress, Delilah, a Philistine, has coaxed this secret from him. She shaves his head and calls her countrymen, who lose no time in pouncing on the hero thus robbed of his might. They tie him up and gouge out his eyes. Illuminated with a harsh beam of the kind cast by a spotlight, the ghastly scene has a stage-like quality. Delilah looks back at her victim with an expression of triumph, fascination and disgust. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n This painting represents one of the most spectacular acquisitions in the long history of the St\u00e4del Museum. The driving force behind the efforts to purchase it was the then director of the St\u00e4del, Ludwig Justi. He negotiated a price of 336,000 marks with the previous owners, the family of the Counts of Sch\u00f6nborn in Vienna, but the St\u00e4del could not raise this amount on its own. Within days, eighty-five private donors had contributed 167,700 marks. The city and the Museums-Verein also provided large sums, enabling the purchase to be concluded in May 1905. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio Video \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:16 \n \n \n \n Focus on material \n 01:35 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 02:11 \n \n \n \n Highlights of the St\u00e4del Collection \n 02:06 \n \n \n \n Exhibition \u201cRembrandt in Amsterdam: Creativity and Competition\u201d (2021) \n 02:46 \n \n \n \n Exhibition \u201cRubens.

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Protect or let go? The mother's gestures are ambiguous: she holds her daughter firmly with one hand but pushes her away with the other. Parental experience speaks through her sad gaze, while the child looks at the world with its big, innocent eyes. In contrast to the simplified form of the bodies and the coarsely hewn surface of the figures, Kirchner devotes himself here with bizarre precision of detail to the sexuality of the girl: her vagina is painted red. Inspired by art from outside Europe, this wood sculpture is one of a series of representations of couples created during the mid-1920s. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n The important collection of Expressionist art owned by the chemist Carl Hagemann (1867-1940) was formed from the beginning of the twentieth century in close exchange with the artists - even during the period when they were being vilified by the National Socialists. After Hagemann's death in 1940, his collection was secretly removed into storage to escape the war, together with the St\u00e4del's own collection. In gratitude for this hazardous but successful effort, Hagemann's heirs presented 935 works on paper to the St\u00e4del during the 1940s. Further generous donations were made over the course of several decades."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n When she married the Frankfurt citizen Franz Brentano in about 1800, noblewoman Antonia Josepha Edle von Birckenstock brought with her the famous art collection of her aristocratic father, Johann Melchior Ritter und Edler von Birckenstock. The Brentano-Birckenstock collection became one of the largest private art galleries in Frankfurt. Their daughter Josephine Brentano (1804-1879) married the Frankfurt merchant and chairman of the civic assembly Anton Theodor Brentano-Toccia (1809-1895). In 1870 the St\u00e4del acquired by auction some famous paintings from the Brentano-Birckenstock collection. This was followed in 1895 by an extensive donation. According to the inventory of art objects drawn up at the time, the small-format Baroque paintings mostly hung in the dining room of the Brentanos."

Like her sister Fanny, she bequeathed parts of her art collection to the St\u00e4del. Among them were several landscape paintings by one of her friends: the Frankfurt painter Wilhelm Steinhausen."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n From 1912 onwards, the sisters Erna and Gerda Schilling appear in many of Kirchner\u2019s Berlin period paintings (1911\u20131917). Both worked as dancers in nightclubs and as models for various artists. Close together and yet isolated from each other, Kirchner placed Gerda diagonally behind Erna dipping her hands into a sink. The pointy shapes, garish colours and the play on the complementary contrast of pink and green are typical of Kirchner\u2019s Berlin period paintings. It all reflects his experiences in the big city, especially the fast pace of life and the isolation of the individual. As Kirchner\u2019s significant other, Erna (1884\u20131945) supported him in his artistic work, made embroideries according to his designs and later also took care of his business as well as the administration of his estate. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n From 1900 onwards, the Frankfurt chemist and industrialist Carl Hagemann (1867\u20121940) assembled one of the most important private collections of modern art. It included numerous paintings, drawings, watercolours and prints, especially by members of the artist group \u201cDie Br\u00fccke\u201d. After Carl Hagemann died in an accident during the Second World War, the then St\u00e4del director Ernst Holzinger arranged for Hagemann\u2019s heirs to evacuate his collection with the museum\u2019s collection. In gratitude, the family donated almost all of the works on paper to the St\u00e4del Museum in 1948. Further donations and permanent loans as well as purchases of paintings and watercolours from the Hagemann estate helped to compensate for the losses the museum had suffered in 1937 as part of the Nazi\u2019s \u201cDegenerate Art\u201d campaign. Today, the Hagemann Collection forms the core of the St\u00e4del museum\u2019s Expressionist collection."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Saint James the Greater is an early work by the Spanish painter Jusepe de Ribera, who worked in Italy. He painted this picture in around 1615/16, towards the end of his stay in Rome. Ribera, who is among the first and most important Caravaggisti, further developed Caravaggio\u2019s revolutionary new art with his own distinctive approach. Here we come face to face with a monumental half-figure with sculptural presence. The apostle stands in front of a dark wall and is illuminated by a cone of light entering from the top left of the picture. The insignia that is pinned to his robe gleams in the light and serves as another reference to Saint James\u2019s pilgrimage, apart from his pilgrim\u2019s staff. His bright red cloak has a voluminous quality, its folds forming into a range of hills and valleys. The gentleness of the saint\u2019s inclined head creates a subtle contrast with the power expressed in his physique. This ambivalence between outward appearance and inner epiphany, between presence and rapture identifies the painting as a sophisticated masterpiece in Ribera\u2019s early work. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n The Dagmar Westberg Foundation has been a staunch supporter of the St\u00e4del Museum since 2000, helping to facilitate new acquisitions, most recently through the donation of an altar by the Antwerp Master of the van Groote Adoration in 2008. To mark her hundredth birthday, Dagmar Westberg, who is a native of Hamburg but chose to make Frankfurt her home, has now acquired this important early work by Jusepe de Ribera for the St\u00e4del. In addition to its commitment to the visual arts, her foundation also supports social projects in Frankfurt. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:33 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 02:27 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 02:08"

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Having fled from France in 1689 for religious reasons, the Calvinist Gontard family soon rose to wealth and honour in its new home town of Frankfurt: the Gontards were ennobled as \"Imperial Knight of the Holy Roman Empire, Lord von Gontard\". Their city mansion, 'Zum wei\u00dfen Hirsch', lay in Gro\u00dfer Hirschgraben in the neighbourhood of those of the Goethe and Passavant families. The merchant and art collector Moritz von Gontard (1826-1886) was chairman of the five-man administrative committee of the St\u00e4delsches Kunstinstitut for many years until his death. Gontard made a gift to the museum on two occasions: once for the opening of the new building in Schaumainkai, completed in 1878, which he took as an opportunity to present the museum with Lucas Cranach's 'Venus'. Eight years later Moritz von Gontard died and bequeathed his art collection to the St\u00e4del. On 28 April 1887 the official press of Prussia confirmed that it was permissible to accept the bequest: \"The Administration of the St\u00e4delsches Kunst-Institut in Frankfurt am Main has been granted permission by the territorial lord to receive the 33 paintings with an approximate total value of 103,000 M which were bequeathed by the deceased merchant Friedrich Moritz Gontard in his last will and testament.\" The collection mainly contained works of Dutch and Flemish Baroque painting."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n In the sixteenth century Antwerp, a major trade metropolis, became one of north-western Europe\u2019s leading art centres. Among its many painters\u2019 workshops were a number of studios that worked closely with one another. For want of a better name, the respective artists are collectively known as the \u2018Antwerp Mannerists\u2019. One of their main representatives, the \u2018Master of the von Groote Adoration\u2019, was named after this work. Here, he depicted the \u2018Adoration of the Magi\u2019 in a wealth of detail, accompanying it with two Old Testament scenes that serve as a commentary. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n Descended from a Baltic-Hamburg entrepreneurial family, Dagmar Westberg lived in Frankfurt am Main since the end of the war. Her great uncle Oskar Troplowitz, who led the Beiersdorf company to success, was already a great patron of the arts and bequeathed numerous pieces of art to the Kunsthalle Hamburg, including works by Renoir, Sisley, Picasso and Liebermann. Dagmar Westberg then continued this tradition and supported the St\u00e4del Museum for many years. The Dagmar Westberg Foundation, founded in 2000, has enabled important purchases for the St\u00e4del Prints and Drawings Collection to this day. In addition, it promotes art historical publications and activities, awards scholarships to young art historians and grants subsidies for restoration works at the St\u00e4del Art Institute. Even though especially our Prints and Drawings Collection benefits from the generous support of the Dagmar Westberg Foundation, the painting collections, however, have also been expanded in recent years with significant donations from this patron. In addition, the foundation enabled the research for and development of the exhibition \u201cTitian and the Renaissance in Venice\u201d (2019). \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:38 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 01:51 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 01:25 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 01:43"

A mild southern light permeates the scene. Similar to many other German artists, for Hackert, his sojourn in Italy meant the realisation of a dream. In addition, a stay in Italy was a rich source of inspiration for his subsequent artistic work. The longing for Italy also attracted many travellers, long before actual tourism developed."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Like few other artists of his time, Joos van Cleve and his workshop provided the Antwerp art market with high-quality serially produced works. He specialized in paintings of the Virgin and Child, which were executed and assembled by himself, but also independently by workshop assistants drawing on various models approved by him. The infrared image of the painting shows the preparatory underdrawing beneath the layer of paint. The panel (initially inverted) was first used for a different composition of the Virgin and Child. Lines of dots visible on Mary\u2019s right hand and the Infant\u2019s robe suggest that a perforated cartoon and a sprinkling of pounce were used to transfer the original design accurately. Van Cleve\u2019s workshop perfected systematic copying in the interest of a high volume of sales."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Feuerbach was driven by a longing for the grandeur of times long past. Antiquity and the Italian Renaissance were his world. The son of an archaeologist who spent a good part of his life in Rome, he staged his models as if they had come from a distant age. However precise the rendering of the details, in her aloof monumentality the Roman woman in the white tunic looks more like a statue than a living person. The artist painted his beloved Anna Risi \u2013 called Nanna \u2013 more than twenty times; for him, she embodied the classical ideal of beauty. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n The Frankfurt Senator and juryman Eduard Souchay (1800\u20131872) acquired this portrait of Feuerbach\u2019s lover in Rome directly from the artist. Souchay, child of a Huguenot merchant family, is best known in Frankfurt for his political activities. In 1848 he was a member of the German National Assembly and was also the editor of the \u2018Volksbote\u2019 (People\u2019s Messenger). It was due to his initiative that Frankfurt joined the tariff union. A street in Sachsenhausen has been named after him. Souchay\u2019s wife, Helene, presented the work to the museum in 1885."

All in all, the collection comprised forty-two predominantly Baroque paintings. However, Kessler also revered younger artists, such as Carl Spitzweg and Carl Friedrich Lessing, as well as Wilhelm Busch, a personal acquaintance.

There was hardly a medium he did not know how to use \u2013 and hardly an artist as innovative as him. Even so, the Hungarian kept painting, and through geometric reduction clearly showed his artistic convictions."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n This Fall of Man does not take place in Paradise. It has grown out of the pitch-black mental states of Franz von Stuck. In a gently arching contrapposto, the bodies of Adam and Eve step out on to the stage in the foreground of the painting. The serpent writhes around Eve's leg, gains possession of her groin, clambers up her outstretched arm and finally bites the apple she is holding in her slender fingers. The red-haired woman gazes longingly at Adam from the shadows. His gesture points back at her body. Sin, lust, decadence - the current state in which Munich's \"Painter Prince\" finds himself is visualised here symbolically. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n As legal counsel for the Farbwerke Hoechst, Privy Councillor Adolf Haeuser made a fortune. In keeping with their will, after the death of Adolf Haeuser in 1938 and his wife, Luisa, in 1953, their property was divided up among several foundations whose establishment was likewise stipulated. One was the Adolf und Luisa Haeuser-Stiftung f\u00fcr Kunst- und Kulturpflege. Since that time, this foundation has acquired several paintings which are on view at the St\u00e4del in the form of loans. The museum also received paintings from the couple\u2019s private estate. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 00:47 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 02:05 \n \n \n \n Exhibition \u201cBattle of the Sexes: Franz von Stuck to Frida Kahlo\u201d (2016) \n 02:21"

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Like the Dutch painters of the seventeenth century who were so popular among the Frankfurt collectors, all the Frankfurt painters of the eighteenth century were specialists in specific fields of art. While Christian Georg Sch\u00fctz recorded expansive landscapes from the region, Justus Juncker had a preference for still lifes and Johann Conrad Seekatz was an expert in the genre of painting children. During their lifetime, all these painters were represented in the important Frankfurt private collections, from that of Johann Caspar Goethe, the father of the poet Johann Wolfgang, to that of the banker and merchant Johann Friedrich St\u00e4del (1728-1816). In his foundation letter compiled in 1815, St\u00e4del laid the basis for the museum as it continues to exist today and bequeathed not only his house on Rossmarkt and his fortune, but also his collection of paintings."

Hunting still lifes depicting the kill were a reminder of this privilege and gave their owners a sense of participating in the aristocratic lifestyle, whether they themselves were of noble or only affluent middle-class birth. Paintings like this large-scale still life by Jan Weenix were accordingly popular in the second half of the seventeenth century, not least of all among newly wealthy Dutch merchants, trade magnates and large-scale investors."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n This still life shows nothing more than a partridge and a pear, arranged diagonally on a stone ledge. The snare hanging over the edge goes beyond the limits of the picture and indicates, with macabre irony, how the partridge came to be the subject of a \u2018nature morte\u2019 (still life). There is something very laconic about the combination of these two objects, which Chardin has depicted with rapid, visible brushwork. This makes them a subject of pure \u2018peinture\u2019 \u2013 with no particular significance in terms of content. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n This painting by Chardin, acquired by the Museums-Verein in 1973, represents a link between the small but remarkable collection of French paintings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the genre of still life, which can also be found in all other departments. The St\u00e4del director Ernst Holzinger, who died in 1972, had long endeavoured to acquire a painting like this by Chardin for the museum - but to no avail. Immediately after his death the museum society, founded in 1899, organised the 'Holzinger-Ged\u00e4chtnis-Spende' (donation in memory of Holzinger), in order to continue Holzinger's efforts to purchase this picture. Chardin's simple, noble painting is regarded as a highlight of still-life painting. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:57"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n In his early work, when he was still in search of a pictorial language of his own, Jawlensky studied post-Impressionism in great depth. On his numerous trips to France between 1903 and 1907, he gained manifold artistic impressions which he 'processed' above all in still lifes. One recurring motif is this petroleum lamp. Here it is depicted in an especially sketchy manner with abbreviated strokes of the brush that leave the surface of the paperboard visible in places. The weave of colours, now dense, now loose, vividly illustrates the flickering shine of the lamp. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n The St\u00e4del Museum has the photographer, psychotherapist, philanthropist, and long-time Frankfurt resident Ulrike Crespo (1950\u20132019) to thank for more than ninety works ranging from classical modernism to American pop art. The paintings, drawings, and prints by Wassily Kandinsky, Otto Dix, Oskar Schlemmer, Max Ernst, Jean Dubuffet, Cy Twombly, and others originally belonged to the holdings of her grandfather, the Darmstadt-based industrialist Karl Str\u00f6her (1890\u20131977), who amassed an extensive art collection after World War II."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

An exhibition of the Kessler-Kollig bequest was held in the St\u00e4del Museum from the beginning of April until the middle of August 1936. The Kessler banking family lived in the Wiedenau. Hugo Kessler later listed Bockenheimer Landstra\u00dfe 62 on his business card as his address. In addition to his activities at the bank, Kessler was also very successful in industry, for example as the Chairman of Schneider Hanan AG in Frankfurt."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n From an elevated vantage point, the view opens up over a large valley. With muted colours, Camille Corot skilfully created the impression of an autumnal, tranquil landscape. Corot painted this during his first trip to Italy, probably in November 1827, as is indicated by a dated drawing of the same panorama, which could have been a preliminary sketch. Its inscription also shows that the town of Marino, south of Rome, is shown in the middle ground, which Corot also depicted in the light-flooded painting \u201cView of Marino in the Alban Hills in the Early Morning\u201d (Inv. 1498). Balanced in structure and chiaroscuro, Corot arranges the overall composition into successive pictorial layers. It is characteristic of his work that he combined this traditional composition with his own naturalistic view. The unspectacular, deserted but atmospheric landscape scene was intended to encourage the viewers to empathise and reflect on themselves."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Painted on copper, the \u2018Assumption of the Virgin\u2019 is one of the very few surviving early works by Guido Reni, an artist of key significance for the development of Baroque painting in Bologna and Rome, and whose works continue to shape our image of the Italian Baroque to this day. In 1595, after training with Denys Calvaert in Bologna, Reni entered the academy of the Carracci. Two large altarpieces by Annibale and Agostino Carracci served him as a point of departure for this extremely well-conceived composition, supplying him with motivic inspiration for the figure of the Virgin, shown seated on the throne of clouds with outspread arms, and the two angels accompanying her. At the same time, however, Reni\u2019s conception of the theme is not only entirely different, but so novel for its time as to be revolutionary. Whereas the Carracci depicted Mary\u2019s dramatic ascension with typically High Renaissance pathos, Reni has translated the event into a wholly different mood \u2013 a gentle-upward floating accompanied by the music of the spheres and full of poetic harmony. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio Video \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:10 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 02:11 \n \n \n \n Focus on material \n 02:09 \n \n \n \n Highlights of the St\u00e4del Collection \n 02:07 \n \n \n \n Exhibition \u201cGuido Reni.

Her gaze is piercing; her arms are crossed in front of her chest. For this likeness, the portraitist restricted herself to a palette of sober greys. Commissions received early on in her career made Roederstein financially independent from her parents. From 1909 onwards she lived in the Taunus together with her partner, Elisabeth Winterhalter, Germany\u2019s first female surgeon. Roederstein\u2019s self-portrait celebrates competitiveness, maturity and wisdom. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n The Frankfurter K\u00fcnstlerhilfe (Frankfurt Artists' Aid) was founded in 1922 as a private welfare organisation for artists in need. Shortly afterwards the city also contributed to the aid programme, and the aims of the organisation were extended at the same time. The artistic service was intended to be of great cultural assistance to the city in that it would also enable well-to-do artists like Max Beckmann to receive support, which would then strengthen their ties to Frankfurt. The support of the artists was achieved by purchasing works for the city's museums or by commissioning works from the artists. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 02:20"

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n In 1927 the Frankfurter banker Hugo Kessler (1856\u20131929) stipulated by will that the St\u00e4del Museum was to receive his collection of artworks upon the death of his sister Anna Maria Laetitia Kessler (1863\u20131934). All in all, the collection comprised forty-two predominantly Baroque paintings. However, Kessler also revered younger artists, such as Carl Spitzweg and Carl Friedrich Lessing, as well as Wilhelm Busch, a personal acquaintance. In the spring of 1936 the St\u00e4del presented an exhibition of the entire Kessler-Kolligs bequest \u2013 Kolligs being the maiden name of Kessler\u2019s mother."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Like Frans Hals, Verspronck was a gifted portrait painter working in Haarlem in the mid-seventeenth century. The oblique view with the head turned outwards lends spontaneity to this portrait of a lady, who seems to be sitting up in her chair to look in our direction. The millstone ruff, bonnet, lace-trimmed sleeves and inconspicuous but multiple and varied pieces of jewellery discreetly emphasise the affluence of this self-confident patrician woman. The portrait thus perfectly satisfies the demand for status representation typical of Dutch society at that time."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n \"A hovering, silent, magical apparition in the crowd\" is how Klee was described by a friend during the last years of the artist's life. He had been dismissed from his post as professor in D\u00fcsseldorf in 1933 after being denounced as a \"cultural Bolshevik\". He left Germany and returned to Bern, where, marked by illness, he created his mysterious late works. Klee confronts the viewer with black lines on reduced patches of colour as if they were secret graphic characters from a vanished culture. There is nothing to help us interpret them - no picture title to make it easier to decipher what we see."

The systematised brushstrokes and the painter\u2019s looks show the influence of van Gogh\u2019s self-portraits. In contrast, the emphatically geometric structure of the background with its large, coherent colour fields reflects the artist\u2019s interest in C\u00e9zanne\u2019s art. The letters at the bottom of the picture can be read as a dedication to Beckmann\u2019s future wife, Minna Tube: \u201cMister Beckmann to his Dearest [Herr Beckmann seiner Liebsten] Minna (Minkchen) Tube\u201d. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Exhibition \u201cMAKING VAN GOGH: A German Love Story\u201d (2019) \n 01:36"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n What at first sight looks like an independent painting was originally the front of a \u2018cassone\u2019. Made to hold the trousseaus of wealthy young ladies of bourgeois or aristocratic origins, these chests were often decorated with depictions of virtues from antiquity or classical mythology. In this case, we find scenes from the tale of the chaste Lucretia, who took her own life after being raped by Sextus Tarquinius. The personifications of Prudence and (probably) Strength to either side allude to Lucretia \u2013 and indirectly to the cassone\u2019s owner as well. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n The close bond between the museum and the family of sparkling wine manufacturer Otto Henkell (1869\u20131929) and his wife, K\u00e4the, dates from the early decades of the twentieth century, when the then director of the St\u00e4del, Georg Swarzenski, advised the couple on their art collecting activities. The Henkells\u2019 considerable holdings ranged from medieval to modern art. During the First World War, and again in 1943, this family from Wiesbaden stored parts of its collection in the museum for safekeeping. The heirs donated this valuable cassone panel as a token of their gratitude. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:09 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 02:10"

His studio was located in Sachsenhausen in the Deutschordenhaus in Br\u00fcckenstrasse. From there, one had a view of the Main River and, on the far side, the cathedral. The deserted town looks strangely unreal, almost like a stage backdrop. The only person going about his business is a lone fisherman. The depiction is not a topographically precise rendering of the panorama, but does capture a dreamy mood. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 00:42 \n \n \n \n Focus on Frankfurt \n 02:00"

Dressed like a miniature adult in her Sunday best with a long apron, the baby girl reaches out towards the sweetmeats spread out on the tray of her child's chair. Cornelis de Vos, who was called upon by Rubens on several occasions to assist with large commissions, specialised in portraits of children from the middle classes, in particular during the 1620s. These likenesses were mostly commissioned by well-to-do private citizens."

Although they are mostly deserted, Hodler's landscapes nonetheless express man's longing for union with nature."

A steep rock massif abruptly cuts off the view. It represents the Jura Mountains, the location of Gustave Courbet\u2019s home town of Ornans. The harshness of the landscape is underlined by the impasto application of paint; the medium is emphasised more than the figurative content. As a landscapist, Courbet served the Impressionists as an important role model. He and Claude Monet met in 1862, and in 1870 Courbet was best man at Monet\u2019s wedding."

Redon has transformed the place where, according to the Bible story, Christ met the Samaritan woman into a space full of colour.

The viewer senses the dreamlike event rather than comprehend it. After a \"black\" phase lasting until the early 1890s and during which Redon devoted himself exclusively to graphical works, the internalised, often mystic pictorial worlds of the Symbolist artist demonstrate an intense and seemingly weightless colourfulness. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:19 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 01:45"

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

It is reminiscent of Italy, with its central group of poplars and the mountain range bathed in a bluish haze. This is the only surviving landscape painting by Veit, who lived in Rome for several years from 1815 onwards. The Nazarene became particularly famous for his large-format works with religious and historical contents. He also achieved importance as an art scholar and, from 1830 to 1843, was director of the St\u00e4del Museum."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n The River Scheldt in Antwerp is 400 metres wide. A river like that rarely freezes over - except during the mid-sixteenth century, when the so-called Little Ice Age was at its zenith. Lucas van Valckenborch has captured the atmosphere of a cold winter's day with great skill. Dark snow clouds alternate with blue sky, and the sun, lying low on the horizon, casts long shadows. The peasants have lit a fire on the embankment. Day labourers gathering wood and elegant city dwellers watch the bustle on the ice with amusement. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n \"Dr. Grambs also owns a collection of paintings, copperplate engravings and drawings by hand which exceeds all expectations. The definitive knowledge of the owner helps the visitor to gain rapid enlightenment and thorough understanding.\" That was how Goethe described the Frankfurt collection of the lawyer Johann Georg Grambs (1756-1817). It included Netherlandish Baroque artists and contemporary master painters from Frankfurt. Grambs was one of the administrators of the museum appointed by St\u00e4del. Like the donor, he, too, bequeathed his art collection to the institute."

However, he also dedicated the foundation to the citizens of Frankfurt immaterially, wishing it to be an \"adornment and of practical use\" to Frankfurt's citizenry. He was thus the first ordinary citizen in the German-speaking region to found a public art museum: the present-day St\u00e4del Museum. When he died, his collection comprised 476 paintings, some 4,600 drawings, almost 10,000 printed graphics and valuable books."

The altar was acquired with the help of several sponsors in 1906 at the auction of the Molinier Collection in Paris. The money required to secure this magnificent work for Frankfurt was provided jointly by the City of Frankfurt, private art lovers, the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein and the recently founded Carl Schaub'sche Stiftung. For Cranach researchers, its arrival at the museum was a small sensation: although the altar clearly bore the signature of the master himself, the work was previously unknown in the relevant literature on the artist."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n In 1516 the Salzburg mint master Johann Thenn had portraits painted of three of his children. This picture shows his daughter Barbara in three-quarter profile at the age of about three or four. Her right arm is bent and she is holding what is probably a cherry between her thumb and forefinger. But nothing in the girl's expression gives the impression that she wants to eat the fruit. With the earnestness of a child she is gazing out of the picture to the left. In the background we can see an expanse of water, and on the horizon snow-capped peaks rise above the foothills beneath a slightly cloudy sky."

The figure of the Virgin kneeling in the centre of the composition, the Christ Child propped up by a white bolster, the naked infant Saint John and even the wide landscape, complete with ox and ass, were lifted from different compositions by the master and reassembled. The work most closely parallels the Madonna del Sacco (Galleria Palatina, Florence). This kind of recombination of workshop cartoons and drawings was not unusual at the time \u2013 even great masters, Perugino included, often fell back on their own pool of drawings and replicated the most popular elements."

Johann Friedrich St\u00e4del himself believed he owned a work by the famous Baroque fine artist. Especially after the Second World War, intensive efforts began with regard to the artist, culminating in an Elsheimer exhibition in 1966. In those days, no one could have foreseen that a small miracle would soon take place. Between 1971 and 1981 the St\u00e4del was able to reunite the seven-part Altar of the Holy Cross, familiar from archive material, by purchasing the five remaining panels scattered across the world. The Museums-Verein, which had been founded in 1899 and reorganised in 1957, played the main role in financing the purchase with its specific fundraising campaigns. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:43 \n \n \n \n Focus on Frankfurt \n 01:57 \n \n \n \n Focus on material \n 01:55 \n \n \n \n Highlights of the St\u00e4del Collection \n 02:44"

Johann Friedrich St\u00e4del himself believed he owned a work by the famous Baroque fine artist. Especially after the Second World War, intensive efforts began with regard to the artist, culminating in an Elsheimer exhibition in 1966. In those days, no one could have foreseen that a small miracle would soon take place. Between 1971 and 1981 the St\u00e4del was able to reunite the seven-part Altar of the Holy Cross, familiar from archive material, by purchasing the five remaining panels scattered across the world. The Museums-Verein, which had been founded in 1899 and reorganised in 1957, played the main role in financing the purchase with its specific fundraising campaigns. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:43 \n \n \n \n Focus on Frankfurt \n 01:57 \n \n \n \n Focus on material \n 01:55 \n \n \n \n Highlights of the St\u00e4del Collection \n 02:44"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Claude Lorrain is renowned for his light-suffused paintings of ideal landscapes with figures. He executed this work in 1681 for the Roman cardinal Fabrizio Spada. Depicted in the foreground is the risen Christ appearing on Easter morning to Mary Magdalene. With the words \u201cNoli me tangere\u201d (\u201cTouch me not\u201d), he keeps her from approaching him. On the right, the other two Marys can be seen with the angel in front of Christ\u2019s empty tomb. Here, the biblical subject provides, above all, a welcome occasion for a well-wrought and extensive ideal landscape. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n In 1905 Carl Schaub, who lived in Frankfurt's Westend district, created a foundation which was to inherit his fortune of about one million marks. In agreement with the St\u00e4del administration, the foundation's advisory board was to use the interest to purchase art for the museum. According to the records of Dr. Alexander Berg, the lawyer entrusted with the task and an administrator at the St\u00e4del, after he had signed his will Schaub formally expressed his thanks as a donor and wished all the best for the future. During the following night, on 21 June 1905, the fifty-four-year-old Schaub took his own life. Even before the First World War, the interest from the foundation enabled the St\u00e4del to purchase pictures by Claude Lorrain and Tintoretto. Today the works purchased with the funds from the Carl Schaub Foundation are primarily destined for the Graphische Sammlung. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio Video \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:04 \n \n \n \n Focus on Frankfurt \n 01:19 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 01:59 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ASK AN ARTWORK \u2013 Fragen an die Kunst, Antworten aus dem Home Office: Claude Lorrain #StaydelAtHome \n \n \n Ein Wunder! Jesus ist von den Toten auferstanden und Maria Magdalena die erste Zeugin. Aber wieso sind die Hauptdarsteller dieses Gem\u00e4ldes nur so klein? Und warum sieht Jesus wie ein G\u00e4rtner aus?\n \nIn der Serie ASK AN ARTWORK beantwortet die Kunsthistorikerin Anna Huber (Mitarbeiterin der Abteilung Bildung und Vermittlung) aus dem Home Office Fragen, die wir an die Kunst haben. Denn w\u00e4hrend der Coronakrise kommt das St\u00e4del zu Ihnen, auch an den Feiertagen: #StaydelAtHome\n\nFindet Claude Lorrains Werk Landschaft mit Christus, der Maria Magdalene erscheint in der Digitalen Sammlung: \nhttps://sammlung.staedelmuseum.de/de/werk/landschaft-mit-christus-der-maria-magdalena-erscheint\n\nIt's a miracle! Jesus has risen from the dead and Mary Magdalene is the first witness to the impossible. But how come the main protagonists in this painting are so small, that you almost have to search for them like hidden Easter eggs? And why does Jesus look like a gardener? \n\nIn the series ASK AN ARTWORK art historian Anna Huber (Educational Department of the St\u00e4del Museum) answers the questions that we have for art \u2013 from home office. Because during the Corona-Crisis, if you can\u2019t come to the St\u00e4del Museum, then the St\u00e4del Museum will come to you: #StaydelAtHome\n\nFind Claude Lorrain's Christ Appears in front of Mary Magdalene in our Digital Collection: \nhttps://sammlung.staedelmuseum.de/en/work/christ-appears-in-front-of-mary-magdalene"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n In 1516 the Salzburg mint master Johann Thenn had portraits painted of three of his children. This picture shows his son Ruprecht, who was about four at the time, in three-quarter profile and posing as a falconer. His left hand is raised and holds a small white fabric bag, the falconer's lure. Perched on his gloved right hand, though, is not a bird of prey, but a harmless sparrow. Around his neck, the child is wearing a coral chain with a golden medallion showing the figure of a saint, probably a pilgrim's badge. In the background can be seen an Alpine landscape with snow-capped mountains beneath an almost cloudless sky."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n By 1492 at the latest, this artist from Conegliano was working in Venice, where he made a study above all of the work of Giovanni Bellini. Rather like Bellini's \"Sacra conversatione\", Cima's composition in the Frankfurt collection was probably designed for a full-figure altarpiece including the portraits of the donors. The reduction to a half-figure format explains not only the slightly low-angle view of the representation, but also the circumstance that the gaze of the figures and the sign of blessing by the Infant Jesus are now directed into empty space."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Descended from a Baltic-Hamburg entrepreneurial family, Dagmar Westberg lived in Frankfurt am Main since the end of the war. Her great uncle Oskar Troplowitz, who led the Beiersdorf company to success, was already a great patron of the arts and bequeathed numerous pieces of art to the Kunsthalle Hamburg, including works by Renoir, Sisley, Picasso and Liebermann. Dagmar Westberg then continued this tradition and supported the St\u00e4del Museum for many years. The Dagmar Westberg Foundation, founded in 2000, has enabled important purchases for the St\u00e4del Prints and Drawings Collection to this day. In addition, it promotes art historical publications and activities, awards scholarships to young art historians and grants subsidies for restoration works at the St\u00e4del Art Institute. Even though especially our Prints and Drawings Collection benefits from the generous support of the Dagmar Westberg Foundation, the painting collections, however, have also been expanded in recent years with significant donations from this patron. In addition, the foundation enabled the research for and development of the exhibition \u201cTitian and the Renaissance in Venice\u201d (2019). \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:38 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 01:51 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 01:25 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 01:43"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Kollwitz repeatedly depicted mother and child, naked bodies inseparably intertwined. When she expands these compositions to include the figure of Death, it is not as a detached vis-\u00e0-vis. Rather, Death joins the embrace. With this physical\u2014indeed, corporal\u2014\u2018entanglement\u2019, the artist achieved a new and entirely unconventional way of formulating the classical pictorial subject. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n His arms stretched out disarmingly, the faun abandons himself to the caresses of the little female faun as she gazes dreamily at him. In a reversal of the classic gender roles, the mythological hybrid creature of antiquity and the epitome of sexual drive is dominated by his companion. As a couple they look inorganic; the delicate woman is simply placed on the monstrous faun's goat-like leg. Here, Rodin has arranged two individual figures created for his 'Gates of Hell' to form a new group. Liberated from their original context, his sculptures acquired the status of autonomous artworks."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Rubens developed many of his large-scale painting commissions in series of sketches. Painted on both sides, this panel served him in 1627/28 in his preparations for the altarpiece of the Church of the Augustinians in Antwerp. The Frankfurt sketch combines several individual studies in an overall composition for the first time. Badly damaged by a strip of wood glued to it later on, the sketch of a lion hunt on the back was carried out in preparation for the painting cycle executed by Rubens from 1628 onwards for Maria de\u2019 Medici as an apotheosis of Henri IV of France. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n Art collecting was popular among the well-to-do burghers of Frankfurt during the eighteenth century, but only in the case of the banker and spice merchant Johann Friedrich St\u00e4del (1728-1816) did the private art collection end up as an art institute that was open to the public. St\u00e4del decreed in his will in 1815 that his collection should be \"open for use and inspection by prospective artists and art lovers on specific days and at specific times freely and without charge, under appropriate supervision\". He also expressed the wish \"that in future the Institute should be expanded through contributions, legacies and gifts by other art lovers and supporters of the fine arts\". \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio Video \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:21 \n \n \n \n Focus on material \n 02:15 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KunstISt\u00fcck \u2013 Peter Paul Rubens: Die mystische Verm\u00e4hlung der Heiligen Katharina (Entwurf) \n \n \n Sammlungshighlights des St\u00e4del Museums in unterhaltsamen und informativen Filmen \u2013 das sind die Kunst|St\u00fccke.

As a result, the depicted objects appear almost like elements in a still life. The Church Father Jerome is shown not writing but engrossed in his reading, his head supported by his bent arm. Analogous to the concept of the picture as a window onto the world, the space has been laid out using central perspective, and is not a \"study\" but is opened up through the view into the landscape, in front of which the Crucifix rises in silhouette. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:10 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 02:17"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Walter and K\u00e4the Carl were among the first to collect Beckmann\u2019s paintings in Frankfurt. The artist had met the couple through Walter Carl\u2019s sister Fridel Battenberg and was henceforth a frequent guest at their flat in the city\u2019s Westend district. Painted on commission, the portrait is an outstanding example of the transformation that had come about in Beckmann\u2019s style during World War I. Inspired by his intense exploration of the printmaking medium, the artist now constructed confined spatial stages in which the subjects are physically close, but inwardly distant from one another. Like the leafless trees and darkened sky, the house facades that form the threatening backdrop can be read as symbols of the precarious circumstances prevailing at the end of the war."

In 1839 he published his book on Raphael from Urbino and his father, Giovanni Santi, which the author dedicated to the \"highly esteemed administration\" of the St\u00e4del. In 1840 Passavant was appointed to the position of gallery inspector at the St\u00e4del. He bequeathed this painting to the museum during his lifetime, and further works by old masters followed with his bequest of 1861."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n The son of a Jewish father and a Protestant mother, Hanns Ludwig Katz was born in Karlsruhe, where he also began his art studies. From 1918, he took part in exhibitions, moved to Frankfurt in 1920 and achieved first successes. His career came to an abrupt halt during the Third Reich: Katz was persecuted by the National Socialists as a Jew and Socialist. In 1936, he fled to South Africa, where he died in poor circumstances. His works, being somewhere between Expressionism and Neue Sachlichkeit, were branded as \u201cdegenerate\u201d in Germany and destroyed, as was a portrait acquired by the St\u00e4del in 1925. Since the purchase of Junge Frau im Korbstuhl in 2008, the artist is once again part of the museum\u2019s collection."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Looking anxious, young Susanna tries to evade a sexual assault. This scene from the Old Testament shows two old village judges who are about to ambush her while she takes a bath in her garden. Should she disobey them, they would accuse her of adultery, which is punishable by death. Full of trust in God, she still refuses and is rewarded for it: thanks to divine inspiration, the young prophet Daniel recognises her innocence and convicts the real culprits. With psychological finesse, the artist focuses the narrative on the monumental figures, their body language, facial expressions and gestures. Susanna\u2019s immaculate body contrasts with the coarse features and rough skin of the dressed elderly. Her nakedness represents innocence and defencelessness \u2013 and yet is being displayed to the viewer. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 02:27"

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

She is accompanied by two nude boys, putti or angels, who are busy with a palm frond. The young woman is holding a twig in her left hand in a delicate gesture; her robe of white and brown fabric falls gracefully around her body. The scene is so charming that we scarcely notice how overdrawn the young woman's legs are, or that the head of the boy on the right-hand edge of the picture is extremely overwrought. Parmigianino consciously sacrificed the proportions in favour of artistic expression and a composition which links all three figures together. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n The donor of this picture was Baroness Emilie Margarethe Beaulieu-Marconnay, n\u00e9e Grunelius (1841\u20131929). She came from a long-established Frankfurt banking family which consistently distinguished itself by its extremely generous endowments to social and educational causes, as well as to the benefit of Frankfurt\u2019s cultural life. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:23 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 02:09 \n \n \n \n Focus on material \n 01:04 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 01:17"

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Descended from a Baltic-Hamburg entrepreneurial family, Dagmar Westberg lived in Frankfurt am Main since the end of the war. Her great uncle Oskar Troplowitz, who led the Beiersdorf company to success, was already a great patron of the arts and bequeathed numerous pieces of art to the Kunsthalle Hamburg, including works by Renoir, Sisley, Picasso and Liebermann. Dagmar Westberg then continued this tradition and supported the St\u00e4del Museum for many years. The Dagmar Westberg Foundation, founded in 2000, has enabled important purchases for the St\u00e4del Prints and Drawings Collection to this day. In addition, it promotes art historical publications and activities, awards scholarships to young art historians and grants subsidies for restoration works at the St\u00e4del Art Institute. Even though especially our Prints and Drawings Collection benefits from the generous support of the Dagmar Westberg Foundation, the painting collections, however, have also been expanded in recent years with significant donations from this patron. In addition, the foundation enabled the research for and development of the exhibition \u201cTitian and the Renaissance in Venice\u201d (2019). \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:38 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 01:51 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 01:25 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 01:43"

In Florence at the end of the 15th century, the workshop of the sculptor and painter Verrocchio stood out with such compositions. His Umbrian assistant Piermatteo d'Amelia placed mother and child in a loggia that opens onto a distant landscape on one side while he also contrasted the meditative inwardness of Mary with the open nature of the infant Christ gazing directly at the observer."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

The great prosperity which Dutch merchants amassed during the seventeenth century through their worldwide trading is expressed in what are known as magnificent still lifes: precious drinking goblets of gold, silver or glass; fine silver or pewter plates presenting delicacies which someone appears to have tasted only briefly. Despite the magnificence and superabundance, we do not see a carefully laid table but rather the remains of a meal carelessly pushed to one side. This is expressed in particular through the crumpled serviette. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 00:54 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 01:36"

However, he also dedicated the foundation to the citizens of Frankfurt immaterially, wishing it to be an \"adornment and of practical use\" to Frankfurt's citizenry. He was thus the first ordinary citizen in the German-speaking region to found a public art museum: the present-day St\u00e4del Museum. When he died, his collection comprised 476 paintings, some 4,600 drawings, almost 10,000 printed graphics and valuable books."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n The sculpture is a fragmentary depiction of a tender touch between mother and child. The shadowy modelling of the surface and the fusion of the figures with their surroundings lend the sculpture a noticeably ethereal effect. Although the work shows the wife and son of the artist, the title points towards a more universal significance: 'The Golden Age' describes the ideal original state of humankind, a utopia of perfect happiness. Rosso's work can be located between Impressionism and Symbolism for its exploratory treatment of light and surface and the simultaneous interplay between atmospheric ephemerality and earthly presence."

In their midst is a valuable blue-and-white Chinese porcelain pitcher. Extravagant wealth was an important element of the European aristocracy\u2019s ideal of life. Here, it is expressed in the type of painting known as \u2018sottobosco\u2019 (forest still life) also very popular among middle-class collectors of the seventeenth century. Like his father, Jan Davidsz., before him, Cornelis de Heem was one of the leading still-life painters of his day. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:24 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 02:09"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n With its inscription and the iconic monogram, this copy appears so convincing that it was acquired in 1836 as an original by Albrecht D\u00fcrer. Together with at least three other, almost identical versions of the portrait, the painting attests to the so-called \u201cD\u00fcrer Renaissance\u201d of around 1600, when, in addition to painted copies, numerous reproductive prints were produced after D\u00fcrer\u2019s works, for example by Wenceslaus Hollar. With his mirror-inverted etchings, Hollar reproduced important paintings that were then in the celebrated collection of the Earl of Arundel in England. In the 17th century, these etchings, all of which identify D\u00fcrer as the originator of the compositions, were not perceived as \u201cmere reproductions\u201d. The virtuoso skill and artistry Hollar demonstrated in translating a painting into the medium of printmaking met with great admiration, and his prints were highly sought-after."

This glorification of religious opposition exceeded the tolerance of the first St\u00e4del director, Philipp Veit. Enraged by the acquisition of the painting, he resigned. Lessing\u2019s painting provoked strong reactions during the politically volatile era of 1815 to 1848.

He, the then acting director of the St\u00e4delsche Kunstinstitut, perfected his craftsmanship with this portrait of Marie von Bernus, a Frankfurt noblewoman, whom he depicted with splendid clothes. At the age of 17, the young lady from Frankfurt\u2019s high society had married the senator, merchant and art collector Franz von Bernus. Her family ran an important salon in Frankfurt, a meeting place for numerous intellectuals, musicians and painters. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 00:35 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 01:17"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Gaetano Gandolfi and his brother Ubaldo belonged to the end of the great tradition of Baroque painting in Bologna, which had begun with the Carraccis in the late 16th century. Among Gaetano\u2019s most impressive works are his oil sketches painted with loose, impasto brushstrokes. This painting, presented in the gallery for the first time after decades in storage, has recently been restored to reveal the brilliance of its technique and the luminosity of its colouring. This is a preparatory oil sketch for a privately owned altarpiece that Gandolfi created in 1774 for the Chapel of St. Petronius in the Villa Piedimonte in Bologna. It shows the commissioner Petronio Giovanardi Rossi\u2019s patron saint, Saint Petronius, the 5th century Bishop of Bologna. With a grand gesture he points to the basilica dedicated to him as well as the Garisenda and Asinelli towers, which still dominate today\u2019s Bologna cityscape. Behind Petronius kneels Saint Bernardin of Siena, to whom an angel offers his attribute, a tablet with Christ\u2019s monogram, IHS."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n The human body is the true motif of Kollwitz\u2019s work. In vivid body language, she staged \u2013 or, more aptly, choreographed \u2013 it as a timeless, gestural-emotional form of expression. This is especially apparent in the works in which she reflected on motherhood as an existential experience characterized by unconditional, instinctual love and fear of irreversible loss. When she expands these compositions to include the figure of Death, it is not as a detached vis-\u00e0-vis. Rather, Death joins the embrace, which in its dynamic often takes on a virtually dance-like quality. With this physical \u2013 indeed, corporal \u2013 \u2018entanglement\u2019, the artist achieved a new and entirely unconventional way of formulating the classical pictorial subject. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n From 1900 onwards, the Frankfurt chemist and industrialist Carl Hagemann (1867\u20121940) assembled one of the most important private collections of modern art. It included numerous paintings, drawings, watercolours and prints, especially by members of the artist group \u201cDie Br\u00fccke\u201d. After Carl Hagemann died in an accident during the Second World War, the then St\u00e4del director Ernst Holzinger arranged for Hagemann\u2019s heirs to evacuate his collection with the museum\u2019s collection. In gratitude, the family donated almost all of the works on paper to the St\u00e4del Museum in 1948. Further donations and permanent loans as well as purchases of paintings and watercolours from the Hagemann estate helped to compensate for the losses the museum had suffered in 1937 as part of the Nazi\u2019s \u201cDegenerate Art\u201d campaign. Today, the Hagemann Collection forms the core of the St\u00e4del museum\u2019s Expressionist collection."

To judge from their seductive poses, the witches are not in the least bothered by the threatening billows of smoke in the background. The dragon-like creature imprisoned in the bottle does not stand for Satan, as one might suspect, but symbolises quicksilver, which was used in medicinal ointments for treating syphilis, a disease rife in Europe since 1495. So what the witches are telling us is that he who fails to resist the provocative gaze of a woman runs the risk of being infected with the disease. The little Cupid surveys the calamity with alarm \u2013 aware of the role he has played in bringing it about. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio Video \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:06 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 01:56 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 01:06 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ASK AN ARTWORK \u2013 Fragen an die Kunst, Antworten aus dem Home Office: Hans Baldung Grien \n \n \n Die Welt in Feuer und Flammen, und dann noch diese zwei provozierenden Hexen!

This picture shows the expanse of water in front of the Doge\u2019s Palace and the mouth of the Grand Canal. The viewer\u2019s gaze moves across the water, with its gondolas and larger vessels, to the distinctive urban silhouette in the middle distance, dominated by the dome of Santa Maria della Salute on the left and the campanile of St Mark\u2019s on the right.

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n Like the 17th century Dutch painters who were so popular among Frankfurt collectors, the 18th century Frankfurt painters were specialists in certain fields. While Christian Georg Sch\u00fctz captured extensive landscapes from the surrounding area, Justus Juncker had a penchant for still lifes and Johann Conrad Seekatz was focused on the children's genre. All these painters were already represented in important private collections in Frankfurt during their lifetime, be it in that of Johann Caspar Goethe, the father of the poet Johann Wolfgang, or in that of the banker and merchant Johann Friedrich St\u00e4del (1728\u22121816). In his charter to the foundation from 1815, St\u00e4del laid the foundation for the museum that still exists today and bequeathed not only his house on the Ro\u00dfmarkt and his fortune, but also his collection of paintings."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n A thundering wave rolls directly towards the viewer, threatening to carry him off into the turbulent sea. Courbet painted this natural spectacle during stormy weather on the coast of Normandy some sixty times. Executed between 1865 and 1870, the series already sparked the attention of his contemporaries. In addition to the delicate palette, they were fascinated above all by the symbolic import of the wave paintings. Nature unleashed is not only a metaphor for the struggle of life. For Courbet, the wave signified violence and destruction, but also creation and renewal."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Degas chose an unusual perspective for this painting: he shows the ballet dancers from one of the orchestra musician\u2019s point of view. The painting is an early example of his great interest in the world of opera and ballet. The composition is the result of a gradual process of revision. Though he had begun painting it in 1872, Degas started changing the painting\u2019s format by removing and adding pieces of the canvas somewhere between 1874 and 1876\u00a0\u2013 turning the original landscape format into a portrait format. Thus, he achieved an equal presence of music and dance. \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio Video \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 00:50 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 01:45 \n \n \n \n Focus on cultural history \n 01:57 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Kunst|St\u00fcck \u2013 Edgar Degas: Die Orchestermusiker \n \n \n Sammlungshighlights des St\u00e4del Museums in unterhaltsamen und informativen Filmen \u2013 das sind die Kunst|St\u00fccke.

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Helpless at the loss of her son, Mary covers her face with her hands. They gleam in the dark. The Munich prince of painters, Franz von Stuck, infused the traditional piet\u00e0 with great drama. His isolated figures are perpendicular to each other and personify the contrast of life and death. Christ\u2019s naked corpse appears much more three-dimensional and more real than mantled, schematic Mary in her anguish. The Christian subject serves purely as a pretext to examine existential sensations, such as misery and sorrow. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n Ludwig Josef Pfungst, a businessman in Worms, died on 4 July 1905. A childless bachelor, he left his entire art collection and his fortune of around a million marks to the city of Frankfurt. It was his wish that the interest on the money be used to purchase works of contemporary art. This legacy was a major factor leading to the foundation of the St\u00e4dtische Galerie, which has been part of the St\u00e4delsches Kunstinstitut since 1907. Still in existence today, the Pfungst Foundation now mainly supports purchases of modern art for the St\u00e4del museum\u2019s Collection of Prints and Drawings. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:12 \n \n \n \n Focus on art history \n 01:46"

"additional_text": "About the Work \n This is the mute lament of an artist, perpetuated in bronze. The image speaks of pain, grief and incomprehension: the overlarge, powerful hands are placed protectively over the mouth and eye, as if wanting to no longer be compelled to see the terrible events, or to suppress a scream. With this relief created during the Nazi dictatorship, Kollwitz recalls her artist friend Ernst Barlach, who had died in 1938 and who was ostracised like her. As early as 1920 she had formulated her artistic task timelessly and with universal validity: \"I shall give voice to the suffering of man, which never ceases.\" \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n Immediately after World War I, the art connoisseur and bibliophile Helmut Goedeckemeyer (1898\u20131983) began amassing one of the largest collections of prints by K\u00e4the Kollwitz. He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

"additional_text": "About the Acquisition \n When she married the Frankfurt citizen Franz Brentano in about 1800, noblewoman Antonia Josepha Edle von Birckenstock brought with her the famous art collection of her aristocratic father, Johann Melchior Ritter und Edler von Birckenstock. The Brentano-Birckenstock collection became one of the largest private art galleries in Frankfurt. Their daughter Josephine Brentano (1804-1879) married the Frankfurt merchant and chairman of the civic assembly Anton Theodor Brentano-Toccia (1809-1895). In 1870 the St\u00e4del acquired by auction some famous paintings from the Brentano-Birckenstock collection. This was followed in 1895 by an extensive donation. According to the inventory of art objects drawn up at the time, the small-format Baroque paintings mostly hung in the dining room of the Brentanos."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Klee created this painting the same year he had finally been discharged from military service in the First World War. He settled in Munich and, for the first time, was intent on painting only in oil. Therein, plant and garden motifs played an important role. Klee gave his works poetic, enigmatic titles that went well with his playful painting style. He used them to steer the viewers\u2019 perception of his art into a certain direction. In this case, the thistle hovering above the mysterious building as a symbol of Christ\u2019s suffering is reminiscent of medieval art\u00a0\u2013 which Klee had studied in much detail."

The globe and the map on the wall represent the state of the art of cartography, which the Netherlands pioneered. The former features Europe\u2019s coastlines, the latter the Indian Ocean, an important body of water for the country\u2019s maritime-trade-based economy. Yet the work is neither a portrait nor does it tell a story.

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Ljubov Popova lived to be only thirty-five, but she created such an impressive oeuvre within her short lifetime that she is today regarded as one of the most innovative artists of the twentieth century. This painting belongs to a group of works which became known as architectural paintings. In these works, we see for the first time Popova's increasing abandonment of objects, which eventually led her entirely towards abstraction. The artist consciously abandoned painting in 1921. Inspired by the ideas of the Russian Revolution, she devoted herself from then on to everyday design and stage design, which made theatrical history."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Her hands raised heavenward in a gesture of deepest distress, the Virgin Mary has sunk to the ground. Her body is grouped with those of the disciples offering her support and the mourning woman behind her in such a way as to imitate the form of Christ\u2019s cross, which is being erected in the background. Philipp Uffenbach \u2013 the young Adam Elsheimer\u2019s Frankfurt teacher \u2013 thus staged the Virgin suffering vicariously for her son. The pain endured by the Blessed Mother beneath the cross is intended to provide the faithful with access to the experience of Christ\u2019s Passion. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n For almost 700 years, from 1245 until 1923, the Holzhausens were one of Frankfurt's most important patrician families and prominent members of the Imperial City's town council. More than thirty members of the family served as mayor on some seventy occasions. Until about 1500 the family were merchants on a large scale, but then concentrated on administering their country property and feudal lands. The death of Adolph Freiherr von Holzhausen (1866-1923) marked the end of the older branch of the family on the male side. He bequeathed to the St\u00e4del the ancestral portrait gallery of Frankfurt's Holzhausen family, which dated back to the time of the Renaissance. The portrait collection exhibits the particular charm of an ancestral gallery that has been maintained over many generations."

It is the painter himself, dressed in black, and his friends Ugi and Fridel Battenberg on their way home from a night out celebrating Carnival. They are passing the synagogue with its onion-shaped dome on Frankfurt\u2019s B\u00f6rneplatz square. The windows are brightly lit: morning prayers are in progress inside. The scene symbolizes the threatening circumstances of the period following World War I, which for Beckmann himself was one of existential crisis. The Synagogue in Frankfurt am Main was the first of a series of cityscapes he painted in Frankfurt between 1915 and 1933. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n A depiction of a house of worship that would be set on fire during the November Pogrom of 1938, the painting would later prove to be as important to the city as it was to the artist. It entered the St\u00e4del Museum collection in 1972, having been purchased with municipal support and funds from private donors. Public street collections \u2013 for example at Hauptwache \u2013 had given the local citizens opportunities to contribute. \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Audio \n\n \n \n \n \n Basic information \n 01:01 \n \n \n \n Focus on Frankfurt \n 01:42 \n \n \n \n Focus on religion \n 01:57"

He supplemented these holdings with works of late nineteenth-century French and German printmaking, illustrated books by Max Slevogt, Alfred Kubin and others, and small-scale sculptures by such artists as Aristide Maillol. His collection ultimately encompassed more than 5,000 works. Goedeckemeyer\u2019s close ties to the St\u00e4del Museum date back to the 1920s. From 1959 onwards, he and his wife Hedwig were members of the St\u00e4delscher Museums-Verein (St\u00e4del Museum Association). The City of Frankfurt acquired his Kollwitz collection for the St\u00e4dtische Galerie (Municipal Gallery) in 1964. He made several gifts to the St\u00e4del collection of prints and drawings over the years, and in 1970 presented the museum with Honor\u00e9 Daumier\u2019s \u201cRatapoil\u201d (inv. no. St.P391)."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n The artist Camille Corot travelled across the French countryside on foot in search of picturesque, intimate landscape settings. He made oil sketches on the spot and later developed them in his studio. Corot's relaxed brushstrokes produce blurred contours around the objects, which he then smudges to create a uniform, atmospheric impression. With his selection of simple, rural subjects, he distanced himself from neoclassical painting. Corot is regarded as the main representative of the Barbizon School, and his painting style makes him one of the forerunners of Impressionism."

"additional_text": "About the Work \n Archduke Ernest of Austria was prepared to pay 30 thalers for this little panel painting and presumably took it with him to the Habsburg Netherlands. Lucas van Valckenborch had been in the service of Ernest's brother, Matthias, who later became emperor. However, the work must have been painted in Frankfurt, where the artist had settled in 1593. When executing the painting, he was able to refer to drawings in his possession which he had made during his time at the court in Linz. The viewer gazes down into the Danube Valley from the P\u00f6stlingberg together with the artist, who personally guarantees the accuracy. The parish church of Linz, the main square with the town hall and Castle Hill are all easily recognisable. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n In March 1815, the Frankfurt businessman and banker Johann Friedrich St\u00e4del bequeathed his entire fortune and art collection to a foundation which was to be named after him: the 'St\u00e4delsches Kunstinstitut'. However, he also dedicated the foundation to the citizens of Frankfurt immaterially, wishing it to be an \"adornment and of practical use\" to Frankfurt's citizenry. He was thus the first ordinary citizen in the German-speaking region to found a public art museum: the present-day St\u00e4del Museum. When he died, his collection comprised 476 paintings, some 4,600 drawings, almost 10,000 printed graphics and valuable books."

Their daughter Josephine Brentano (1804-1879) married the Frankfurt merchant and chairman of the civic assembly Anton Theodor Brentano-Toccia (1809-1895). In 1870 the St\u00e4del acquired by auction some famous paintings from the Brentano-Birckenstock collection. This was followed in 1895 by an extensive donation. According to the inventory of art objects drawn up at the time, the small-format Baroque paintings mostly hung in the dining room of the Brentanos."

People even came from bustling Amsterdam in search of rest, diversion and spectacular views. A horseman has come to a halt in Jan van Goyen\u2019s dune. Like many of his fellow painters, van Goyen liked to depict his native countryside. This painting represents a turning point within his oeuvre: beginning in 1629, he reduced his palette increasingly. The earth tones of ochre and brown, along with a little green, sufficed for the painterly effects he wanted to achieve. \n \n \n About the Acquisition \n When she married the Frankfurt citizen Franz Brentano in about 1800, noblewoman Antonia Josepha Edle von Birckenstock brought with her the famous art collection of her aristocratic father, Johann Melchior Ritter und Edler von Birckenstock.
