Come and see works by Pieter Brueghel the Younger, Agnolo Bronzino, Cosimo Rosselli, Raphael’s father Giovanni Santi (yes, he was a painter too), Lucas Cranach, and Wassily Kandinsky. These and other masters of European art are featured at the National Museum's permanent exhibit European Art of the 15th – Early 20th century, which recently re-opened after an absence of 20 years. Featuring some 300 objects of fine and decorative arts, the story of European art in the early modern and modern era is traced, juxtaposing the approaches of Italian and Northern Renaissance artists to religious themes, and the influence of major social changes in the 16th century combined with the ideas of humanism and the emerging Reformation. The Golden Age of Dutch and Italian painting is also covered, as well as an exquisite selection of 18th century artists connected with the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
