The Gemäldegalerie, Berlin’s renowned painting gallery, guards one of the most important treasures of European art history. The museum houses masterpieces from the 13th to the 18th century — including paintings by Jan van Eyck, Pieter Bruegel, Albrecht Dürer, Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt, Jan Vermeer and Angelika Kauffmann.
Since 2011, the Gemäldegalerie has been collaborating with Google Arts & Culture and other institutions of the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation) to bring cultural heritage to the world and make it accessible online. Building on the long-standing partnership between the Gemäldegalerie and Google Arts & Culture, we are now reaching another milestone: The new “Canvas Legends” hub makes the museum’s works accessible in unprecedented quality and scope, offering entirely new perspectives on this outstanding collection.
