One of the prestigious collections of the gallery is the ensemble of pictures
and drawings by German and Austrian artists of 19th century. The majority of
the most valuable works comes from Heinrich Liebieg's endowment.
Today this collection contains more than 220 items. Some authors, e.g. the
landscape painter Eugen Jettel, August Pettenkofen or veduta painter Rudolf
Alt, are represented by outstanding and numerous collections. The creations of
other artists, e.g. Wilhelm Leibl, Franz Lenbach, Adolf Menzel or Gabriel Max,
are presented by paintings of top quality. Even the works of painters now newly
discovered are included. Among them are even Eduard and Hugo Charlemont, the
representatives of the so called historical painting.
This collection is not accessible to the public at present but a new
comprehensive representative
catalogue of this collection was issued in 1997.
