Among the sights of Munich is the Alte Pinakothek of Modern Art. This architectural structure impresses with its brick façade, which is completely subordinated to the Venetian Renaissance style. The Alte Pinakothek was built in the 19th century and originally housed Ludwig I's personal collection of works of art. Today, this museum houses paintings by old masters and masterpieces of the Early Northern Renaissance. After the Alte Pinakothek in Munich was recently renovated, only the Louvre competes in the class of its exhibitions.
The gallery has over 800 paintings from the XIV-XVIII centuries, including works by Raphael - "The Holy Family", Leonardo da Vinci - "The Virgin and Child", Titian and his "Crown of Thorns", Tintoretto, Fra Angelico with "The Burial of Jesus Christ" ", Rembrandt, Velázquez, El Greco, Murillo, Giuseppe Ribera, the Canal with" Venetian Square ", Nicolas Poussin and others. The German and Flemish schools are strongly represented.
The Alte Pinakothek has an invaluable treasure - the art gallery has two halls dedicated to one of the richest collections of the Flemish artist of the XVII century Peter Paul Rubens, presented with 62 paintings, according to which two of his paintings deserve special attention - the huge Doomsday and Self-Portrait with Isabella Brant.
