Information
The collection of Netherlandish art at Staatsgalerie Stuttgart comprises more than 300 paintings, almost 700 drawings, and some 14,000 prints—including outstanding masterpieces in each category. Highlights of the painting collection include Hans Memling’s Bathsheba at Her Bath, Jan van Amstel’s Christ’s Entry into Jerusalem, and Rembrandt’s St. Paul in Prison. There is a strong focus on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century landscape painting from both the southern and the northern Netherlands—from Joos de Momper to Jacob van Ruisdael. Important portraits by painters such as Wybrand de Geest, Peter Paul Rubens, and Frans Hals, as well as still lifes by Osias Beert, Jan Davidsz. de Heem, and Clara Peeters round off the collection. Prominent among the drawings are topographical and landscape works from the period around 1600, including a unique group of pen-and-ink drawings by the hitherto almost unknown Hendrick Ghysmans. The print collection, meanwhile, extensively features series of Mannerist allegorical copperplate engravings, prints after Peter Paul Rubens and etchings by Rembrandt.
