The Splendor of the Renaissance and Baroque: The Gallery of Old Masters
Paintings, sculptures, royal crowns, Meissen porcelain, embroidered gowns, and tapestries are just some of the riches awaiting us in the gallery dedicated to the art of the 15th to 18th centuries. Wandering through the gallery, not only will we have the opportunity to appreciate the craftsmanship and skills of the artists and craftsmen of the time, but we’ll also look for answers to how art satisfied the ambitions of princes, aristocrats, clergy and wealthy city dwellers. We’ll discover the political intrigue behind the regalia of King of Poland August III Sas and which painting the King of England lost in a bet with his courtier. We’ll also learn that it doesn’t always pay to be a great inventor.
