In the organizer's words:

Participation is free of charge, but registration is required: gg@smb.spk-berlin.de.

The catalog raisonné "Dutch and French Painting 1400-1480" will be presented on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at 7 p.m. in the Gemäldegalerie at the Kulturforum Berlin.

The Gemäldegalerie of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin owns an internationally outstanding collection of early Netherlandish and French painting. It represents the renewal of European art that began in Flanders in the 15th century like no other museum collection.

Collection catalog "Dutch and French Painting 1400-1480"

This first scholarly catalog of the collection includes the works of the pioneer generation, i.e. those artists who began their work in the second third of the 15th century at the latest. In 52 entries, 69 individual paintings are dealt with. All the important masters of the period are represented, many of them with major works, such as

• the church Madonna by Jan van Eyck,
• the Miraflores Altarpiece by Rogier van der Weyden,
• the donor panel of Étienne Chevalier by Jean Fouquet,
• the only known work by the Northern Netherlander Albert van Ouwater or
• the Montforte Altarpiece by Hugo van der Goes.

The entries on the works are based on art-historical and painting-technological research and were created in an interdisciplinary collaboration. Richly illustrated, they present a wealth of new insights into both the well-known works and pieces in the collection that have received less attention to date.
