    Wallraf-Richartz Museum

    This museum was created in 1827, rebuilt in 1851 and renovated in 2001. It houses an art
    gallery with a collection from the medieval period to the early 20th century, about 700 years
    of history.

    The painting considered as the greatest attraction is Stefan Lochner’s


    Gothic painting, “Madonna of the Rose Bower” in the 15th century.

    Gothic style (13th-15th centuries): after Romanesque, more animation,


    less relation to the background, more spatial arrangement.

    You’ve got a Renaissance collection with some Flemish masters like


    Utrecht or Hieronymus Bosch.

    Renaissance (15th-16th centuries): painting with oil => very slow drying but can be
    retouched at any moment.

    There’s also a large range of Baroque works by Rubens and Rembrandt among others.

    Baroque style (17th-18th centuries): the world’s considered as a theatre. Everything is


    theatricalized, exaggerated (musculature [ˈmʌs.kjə.lə.ʧəʳ]), there is movement => foretaste
    of the Paradise (Paradise is waiting for us and it’s going to be wonderful). It is in total
    opposition to the Reformation.

    Romanticism (18th-19th centuries): stress on strong emotions, influenced by the medieval


    art with few curved lines. It tends to reach the reality in an attempt to escape the population
    growth, the urban sprawl and the industrialism. This leads to the realism in the 19th century.

    Realism (1850s): appears in France. It aims at revealing the truth by depicting the subjects as
    they are in the everyday life without embellishment of interpretation and by emphasizing
    the ugly or sordid.

    Impressionism (19th century): derived from a Claude Monet’s work “Impression, soleil
    levant”. Visible brush strokes, movement, unusual visual angles, ordinary subject matters.
