Manet's "Winter Garden" in the Alte Nationalgalerie is celebrated worldwide as the first Impressionist painting in museum ownership - but the real sensation of presenting modernism in a museum took place 15 years earlier:


In 1881, in a cooperative project between the Kupferstichkabinett and the Nationalgalerie, an incredible 740 prints of Impressionism that had not been shown before laid the foundation for a collection of modern art in the museum.

Printmaking was the key medium for Impressionism to take up and further develop modern issues.
The exhibition shows works by Corot, Daubigny, Manet, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Sisley, Renoir, Whistler, Corinth, Liebermann, Slevogt and many more. Selected etchings by Rembrandt and photographs of Pictorialism accompany the selection and broaden the spectrum.
