The imposing, Neo-classical edifice was designed and built 1866-76 by the architect F.A. Stuler, a pupil of Karl Freideric Schinkel, and it contains one of the great collections of works by both German and international artists from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the early modern period, including masterpieces by French impressionists such as Cezanne, Manet and Renoir, the surreal works of van Gogh and Munch, and sculptures by Schadow and Rodin. The gallery has been completely restored and renovated, and it was reopened in 2001. Continuing Scala's prestigious series of books on the world's greatest art collections, this is a superb overview of a popular museum, with stunning reproductions, an introduction to each section and extended captions to the colour images.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49587540132113,"sku":"GOR006282450","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52385581465873,"sku":"GOR014511130","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1857593375.jpg?v=1751061312"},{"product_id":"spirit-of-an-age-book-claude-keisch-9781857099607","title":"Spirit of an Age","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49609429188881,"sku":"GOR003693444","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50755797090577,"sku":"GOR005869780","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1857099605.jpg?v=1750769100"},{"product_id":"adolph-menzel-1815-1905-book-claude-keisch-9780300069549","title":"Adolph Menzel, 1815-1905","description":"Providing a retrospective of Adolph Menzel, one of the most influential German painters of the 19th century, this work includes photographs of the artist and contemporary Berlin, reproductions of hundreds of his paintings, and chapters on his life and art, including his critical reception.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49653619654929,"sku":"CIN0300069545G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50097611342097,"sku":"GOR003923695","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53460230275345,"sku":"CIN0300069545VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300069545.jpg?v=1750844509"},{"product_id":"spirit-of-an-age-book-claude-keisch-9780300090185","title":"Spirit of an Age","description":"This magnificent book traces the development of nineteenth-century German paintings through the story of a remarkable institution--the Nationalgalerie in Berlin, one of Germany's most important collections. In their substantial general essays, Francoise Forster-Hahn surveys the social and political background to art and culture in Berlin in the nineteenth century; Claude Keisch and Angelika Wesenberg discuss the reception of German painting in Germany itself; and Peter-Klaus Schuster provides a historical overview of the Nationalgalerie.     The authors focus on some seventy paintings, from the sublime canvases of Caspar David Friedrich and other Romantic painters early in the nineteenth century to scenes of industrial Berlin and the brilliantly observed works of the naturalists of the 1840s and 1850s, ending with the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist innovations of French and German artists that so startled Berlin around 1900, when the Nationalgalerie acquired them against the wishes of the highly conservative and anti-French Kaiser. Richly detailed cityscapes by Eduard Gaertner and Johann Erdmann Hummel provide wonderful views of mid-century Berlin, and powerful works by Max Beckmann and Lovis Corinth announce the Expressionism of later decades of the twentieth century.     Claude Keisch is Senior Curator at the Nationalgalerie, Berlin. Peter-Klaus Schuster is Director General at the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Francoise Forster-Hahn is professor of the history of art, University of California. Angelika Wesenberg is Curator at the Nationalgalerie, Berlin.
