FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. Miniaturen der Romantik
In the organizer's words:
With FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. Miniatures of Romanticism, the Hamburger Kunsthalle is dedicating the first comprehensive exhibition to the multifaceted art of miniature painting in Hamburg from its heyday around 1800 to the 1840s, when it was replaced by the early techniques of photography. The starting point is formed by around 100 portrait miniatures from the Kunsthalle's collection, which were conserved and catalogued in 2023-2024.
Around 60 of these miniatures will be on display for the first time, together with around 150 loans from European collections and private collections, some of which are also on display for the first time. The miniature portraits are complemented by paintings, drawings, prints and photographs. These include a self-portrait by the painter and miniaturist Bernhard Peter von Rausch (1793-1865). The production of miniatures and their special function are highlighted, as are their technical modifications. In total, the exhibition in the Harzen Cabinet presents over 250 objects from an era that was characterized by social change, European exchange and technical innovations.
