1796–1917: Art of the Long Century

The exhibition’s concept is based on important themes, which are characteristic for the art of the given period (portrait, landscape, history, religion etc.). This approach enabled to display also the artworks housed in the National Gallery Prague that had been shown at exhibitions yet, although they represent major examples of contemporary art, such as those by Caspar David Friedrich, Lovis Corinth, Max Klinger, Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, Anton Romak and many others.

The exhibition also includes paintings by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Edvard Munch and the artworks from the so-called French Collection,which has so far been exhibited separately, e.g. those by Eugen Delacroix, Camilla Corot, Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso and André Derain.

Side by side, sculptures by Václav Levý, Josef Václav Myslbek, Josef Mařatka, Ladislav Šaloun, František Bílek, Stanislav Sucharda, Michael Powolny, Constantin Meunier and Auguste Rodin are presented too.
