Intro

The collection presentation focuses in particular on the Bernese Renaissance and early Florentine and Sienese painting from the 13th to 15th centuries.

One of the treasures of the Kunstmuseum Bern's collection is its significant holdings of older works of art. The collection presentation The Full Life. Old Masters from Duccio to Liotard focuses in particular on the Bernese Renaissance and early Florentine and Sienese painting from the 13th to 15th centuries.

On display are ornate altarpieces by the Bernese Nelkenmeister, who were active between 1480 and 1510, and the magnificent collection of works by Niklaus Manuel, born in 1480, who was not only a painter, poet and graphic artist, but also a reformer, traveler and alderman of the city of Bern. Opulent still lifes and prestigious portraits by Joseph Heintz, Albrecht Kauw and Johannes Dünz reflect Bern's economic prosperity in the Baroque period.

Altarpieces and fragments from the Italian trecento and quattrocento are also on display in a cabinet, which are unparalleled in Switzerland. These include a precious and famous devotional panel by Duccio di Buoninsegna as well as works by Bernardo and Taddeo Daddi, Fra Angelico, Filippo Lippi and from the workshop of Sandro Botticelli.
