Zum Sammeln verführen: Hamburger Schätze

Abstract

Summary: Sixteen selected artworks from classical Antiquity to classical Modernism are introduced here through brief but stimulating stories: an unusually exciting form in which the Hamburg Kunsthalle and the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe commemorate their silent benefactor who, 100 years ago, bequeathed the funds for the spectacular purchases. His name was Julius Heinrich Wilhelm Campe (1846-1909), and his bequest marked the foundation of the Campe'sche Historische Kunststiftung. In this way the works of important artists open up many and various insights into the cultural history of the age in which they were created.
