The exhibit The Origins of the Albertina – From Dürer to Napoleon shows for the first time around 100 top-class masterpieces from the collection of the Albertina in the context of the chequered and exciting life story of its founders, Prince Albert of Saxony, Duke of Teschen and Archduchess Marie Christine.
The time span documented by the large-scale exhibit extends from 1738 to 1822.
Loans from throughout the world supplement the holdings of the Albertina in this presentation, including important documents and objects of the time, such as the hat of Napoleon, worn by him at the Battle of Eylau.
These objects and works originate from, among other sources, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, the Vatican and various private collections.
