Old Masters and New Masters Galleries Dresden

Even a young Johann Wolfgang Goethe marvelled at the masterpieces, having supposedly exclaimed "My amazement goes beyond words!" after his visit to the Dresden Art Gallery. And the reaction of visitors is much the same to this day. That's true whether they look around the Old Masters Gallery in the Semper Building at Zwinger Palace or the New Masters Gallery, a separate exhibition created in 1965 at the Albertinum on Brühl's Terrace. Works from the Italian Renaissance and Dutch and Flemish paintings from the 17th centuries are amongst the highlights of the collection at the art gallery. Raphael's "Sistine Madonna", though, is the real star of the show.
