How Pictures Tell Stories: From Albrecht Altdorfer to Peter Paul Rubens shows works from the Alte Pinakothek’s collection of German, Netherlandish and Flemish paintings of the sixteenth and early seventeenth century. Different facets of a theme that is one of the core tasks of painting are examined: namely storytelling. How and by whom are stories told and what do they relate? What aims have artists and patrons pursued at different times, and what audiences do they address? And is this always obvious at all or are those looking at a work sometimes even deliberately misled?
