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.

Der Künstler Jérémie Queyras vor seinem Porträt von Angela Merkel
The artist Jérémie Queyras presents his portrait of Angela Merkel, explaining its creation and his artistic approach – in conversation with Sven Jakstat, curator of the current exhibition ‘Portraits! Surprising Encounters from Botticelli to Lempicka’ at the Gemäldegalerie.
On Tuesday 17 November 2026, the two speakers will meet at the Gemäldegalerie for a discussion within the exhibition ‘Portraits! Surprising Encounters from Botticelli to Lempicka’.
The tandem tours, organised jointly by the artist and the curator, thus combine an art-historical perspective on portraits with a contemporary artistic viewpoint.
