Today I visited the Gemaldegalerie in Berlin, where there is an amazing collection of European paintings from the 13th and 18th centuries. Speaking and thinking about the great ones, the Hermitage and the Louvre immediately come to mind, but the Berlin collection amazed me. Established in the early 19th century in the Kingdom of Prussia, it grew and expanded along with the expansion of Berlin's influence throughout Germany. When the latter became the capital of the German Empire, additional significant purchases were made, turning the museum into one of the leading owners of the collection of masterpieces of European painting.
Here is the early German and Northern Renaissance (Durer, Goldbein, Lucas Cranach), here are the Netherlands, the little Dutch and the Flemings (Vermeer, Bregel, Rubens, van Eyck, Rembrandt in large numbers - forgive the rude expression), a few Spaniards (Velasquez), an excellent selection of Italians from Giorgione and Lippe, to the whole hall Botticelli, Raphael, Tintoretto, Titian and Caravaggio. It is impossible to list all of them!
Three hours is a "gallop through Europe", when there are no more forces and the brain does not perceive this beauty. I wish I could live here! And come every six months, and sit for three hours in 2-3 halls!! This is the only way to get into and admire. In the meantime, I only bought a book about the gallery.
