Schackgalerie

The Schackgalerie (Sammlung Schack), which is situated in a building erected for the Prussian Legation in 1907, has a noteworthy collection depicting the development of German painting in the nineteenth century. Count Adolf Friedrich von Schack, the company's founder, was a great supporter of the arts, buying and commissioning works by a number of prominent 19th-century German painters, including Schwind, Spitzweg, Böcklin, and Lenbach (whose home and studio, Lenbachhaus, now house the outstanding Blue Rider and expressionist collections).

Schack's collection is currently part of the Bavarian State Collection, which includes paintings by Johann Georg von Dillis, Leo von Klenze, and Joseph Anton Koch from the Early Romantic school. Their works represent the romantic era's ethereal, almost fairy-tale situations in art. Carl Rottmann, Joseph von Führich, and Edward von Steinle's masterpieces are among the other highlights.
