Description: Poussin resides in the palace of Schleissheim, Hans Holbein in St Catherine's Church in Augsburg and Peter Paul Rubens in Neuburg an der Donau. The locations of the galleries alone -- ancient castles and magnificent palaces -- make attractive destinations for excursions. From medieval altarpieces to media installations, from Albrecht Dürer to Andy Warhol, from Ansbach to Würzburg: lavishly illustrated and in the words of the people who look after them, this volume tells of famous masterpieces, reveals hidden treasures and invites you to embark upon a journey through the past history and present day of the Pinakotheken in Bavaria.
