The exhibition concentrates on the Baroque period, presenting a cross-section of the core of the collection, the bequest of Anton Paula Graf Lamberg-Sprinzenstein from 1822. Other points of focus are the development of representations of space in early modern painting north and south of the Alps, the work of the Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, portraits and self-portraits of artists in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and the use of architectural fragments in Baroque painting. These topics refer to Scherübel’s insert, Cranach’s Holy Productivity VOL. 28.
