harmed and a large number Of the most Naiualae

The Dusseldorf Academy of Arts wes founded in

For its accommodation part of th'. o.d castle was

1872 by Frederick William. Ill Of Prussia, and
attained its highest reno'SD frm that year until
1926, under the control Of Cornelius and Schadow.
AT one time il was especially rich in works Of
Rubens and other masders of the Dutch and Flemish
schools, collected in. 1890; most of them were, IN
1906 transferred to- Munich where they still remain
However, there were left at Dusseldorf out
of this collection 1900 original drawings, and 4ooO
enorayiDps and casts The collection OF the Acsd-
emv was enriched in 1884, by the addition OF 3OO
1vater-color drawings after Italian masters. Inc
principal works of the old masters which renamed
in the Academy at the time of the contagratoh'
were: The Assumption. by Reubens The Portrait
of a Cardinal bv Velasquez; Madonna OF Belhni'
and Madonna of CiIna da COneghano Among the
