The Nazarenes: religion, power, art
From april 15 to july 24 2005

At the beginning of the XIXth century, artists Johann Friedrich Overbeck, Franz Pforr and Peter Cornelius decided to bring back to life a certain religious form in art. This art form imposed itself as a criticism of society at the time and set the way for the beginnings of modern art. The exhibit shows all the modernity of paintings whose references seem to belong to the past.
