Munich's Museum Quarter includes a group of three world-class art museums, collectively the Pinakotheken. The Neue Pinakothek is devoted to European art of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, and was recommended by friends. The museum, which closed at the end of 2018 for extensive building renovations, was well worth the visit. A leisurely walk took us through the collection, and photography without flash was permitted.
I was struck by an 1890 painting of a lone woman herding goats and I took a picture of it. That led me to use my camera whenever a particular painting made me stop in my tracks.
What follows on this page are the 12 photographs I took that morning, presented, with the exception of the last photo, in chronological order. They are an eclectic mix, and represent only what caught my eye that morning. The first 11 images are all sized to be 650 pixels wide, which does not represent the comparative size of these paintings, but is hopefully large enough to display something of what I saw in them.
