The exhibition will be palpably illustrating a collecting history that goes back over four hundred years, a collecting history that is connected to changes in objectives, ownership issues, as well as in presentation concepts and sites. Our visitors will find on their tour of the show – as they proceed through the 18 rooms, each with a separate thematic focus – presentations addressing the individual collecting interests of the various princes, from the Gothic period through the Early Renaissance to the Baroque and Biedermeier periods. Among other major artworks, there will be paintings by Peter Paul Rubens of mythological subjects, interior scenes by Adriaen van Ostade, landscapes by Pieter Brueghel the Younger, religious subjects depicted by Jacques Jordaens and Anthony van Dyck, portraits by Raphael and Tintoretto, breathtaking tapestries, as well as small-format sculptures and handcrafted pieces. The presentation at the Kunstmuseum Bern is spread over two levels of the museum’s space, providing a representative cross-section of the immense treasure of Hans-Adam II
