How do portraits reflect people and their times? As testaments to personality, power and society’s self-image, they tell stories of individual identity and historical eras.


At the Gemäldegalerie, Sven Jakstat, curator of the current exhibition ‘Portraits! Surprising Encounters from Botticelli to Lempicka’, will offer insights into the history and diversity of portraiture – in conversation with the artist Jérémie Queyras.


On Thursday 19 November 2026, the two speakers will continue their conversation at the Bode Museum.


The tandem tours, organised jointly by the artist and the curator, thus combine an art-historical perspective on portraits with a contemporary artistic viewpoint.
