Deutsche Barockgalerie

The German Baroque Gallery (Deutsche Barockgalerie) in Augsburg's Schaezlerpalais showcases a significant collection of Baroque art. The building, a former city palace on Maximilianstrasse, also houses the Graphic Collection and the State Gallery of Old German Masters. The inventory includes paintings from the 16th to the 18th century as well as prints dating back to the 15th century. A special focus is placed on artists from Augsburg and Swabia, such as Matthäus Günther and Joseph Heintz the Elder, who were also known for their church frescoes. The overview is rounded out by works by southern German masters and internationally renowned artists such as Anton Raphael Mengs. The collection combines holdings owned by the city with loans from private collectors, offering visitors a comprehensive look at the art of the Baroque era.
