Exhibition June 22 − December 24, 2020
The National Gallery in Prague in the halls of the Schwarzenberg Palace presents an exposition"Old masters".

Visitors can see a collection of masterpieces of fine art of the XVI - XVIII centuries.

The main time frame of the project is the period from the 16th to the 18th century, based on a retrospective look at the trends of the Renaissance in Gothic art and ancient works as an inspiration for Renaissance and Baroque art. The exhibition is conceived as a dialogue between national and international impulses, influences and changes in the spirit of the dialectic of forms, styles and motives. From a dramatic point of view, it reflects the narrative aspects of European art from Antiquity to the Enlightenment, the historical context and the eternity of masterpieces in innovative installations.
