The sky so wide

Landscapes along the Rhine between Düsseldorf and Rhenen

18 May to 24 August 2014

A wide sky and a flat horizon have been the typical characteristics of Dutch landscape painting since the 17th century. To this day, they are equally characteristic of artworks depicting the Lower Rhine region. For the first time, this exhibition uses significant paintings, drawings, prints and photographs to explore the fascination that this cultural area and landscape shaped by the Rhine – with its river plains, mills and cities – has had on artists on either side of the German-Dutch border through the centuries.

The exhibition displays numerous works on loan from German and foreign museums and private collections next to works from our own collection, by artists such as Jan van Goyen, Salomon van Ruysdael, Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter and Andreas Gursky, among others.
