Hamburger Kunsthalle: »Figure and Landscape«
Art in transition: the 19th century
A unique opportunity: the exhibition Figure and Landscape. Nineteenth-Century Art from two Private Hamburg Collections presents first-class paintings that otherwise remain hidden. Starting November 17, the exhibits will be presented at the Hamburger Kunsthalle.
November 17, 2023
From 1789 to 1914 goes the so-called »Long 19th Century«, which was marked by revolutions and new developments unimaginable in human history. The cultural upheavals are also reflected in art. With the end of the dominance of the aristocracy, academic painting also lost its importance; realism and impressionism ushered in the coming modernism and the newly emerging free art market. This development is now traced on the basis of paintings, drawings and watercolors that are rarely seen in public: Figure and Landscape. Nineteenth-Century Art from two Private Hamburg Collections presents around 100 works of art at the Hamburger Kunsthalle. The exhibition runs from November 17, 2023 to March 10, 2024.
The high-quality works reveal the diversity of artistic techniques and beliefs that developed in the 19th century. Italian, French, German and English artists in particular are represented in the two private collections. Among them are Oswald Achenbach, Franz Ludwig Catel, Jakob Philipp Hackert, Max Liebermann, Berthe Morisot, Louise Joséphine Sarazin de Belmont, Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes, and Édouard Vuillard.

»The 80s: Photographing Britain«
It was one of the most moving decades in the history of the United Kingdom: the 1980s, characterized by strikes, protests and AIDS. Photographers documented this period and in some cases became political activists themselves through their images. The exhibition The 80s: Photographing Britain opens on November 21 at the Tate Britain in London.
