Then came Berlin!’ (9 October 2026–25 January 2027).

Zirkeltraining in der Berlinischen Galerie
Lovis Corinth (1858–1925), born in Tapiau in East Prussia, was already considered one of the best-known and most influential figures in the art capital of Berlin during his lifetime. In 1900, he moved from Munich to Berlin. At that time, the imperial capital was already significantly more progressive and vibrant than the Bavarian capital. “It all began in Berlin,” Corinth is said to have remarked on his meteoric artistic rise on the banks of the Spree.
The ‘Circuit Training: Art’ invites visitors to engage in a lively dialogue about works of art, which are explored stop by stop.
This time, the focus is on the genres of painting in the first quarter of the 20th century, which are discussed with expert art-historical guidance. Corinth’s extensive artistic oeuvre is used to trace his multifaceted stylistic paths in dialogue with works by artists of his era.
Corinth was a master of all the genres – portraiture, history painting, genre painting, landscape and still life. His compositions will be examined in depth in comparison with works by Jeanne Mammen, Lotte Laserstein, Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Lesser Ury and Max Liebermann.
