| A recent
image in the series, Alte Pinakothek (Self-Portrait), Munich, 2000,
shows parts of the artist's own body in front of the most iconic of
German images, Albrecht Durer's self-portrait. Painting: The Battle of Issus, 1529, Albrecht
Altdorfer, Alte Pinakothek, Munich. In 1824 the Institut in fact
passed on the opportunity to acquire the famous collection of the
Boisseree brothers of Cologne that three years later was purchased by
the Ludwig I of Bavaria and subsequently became the nucleus of the
Netherlandish holdings of the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. |
