BAYERISCHE NATIONALMUSEUM

SAMMLUNG BOLLERT

MUNICH, GERMANY

2006

This is one of the largest private German collections of 15^th and 16^th-century sculpture, and was created by Gerhart Bollert in 1908. After surviving the war and the division of Germany, it was purchased by the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum in 2004.

Mostly from southern Germany, but also from the Netherlands and Italy, the works are classified and displayed in accordance with their artistic provenance. The cabinets made by Goppion using burnished brass harmonise perfectly with the colour of the wooden sculptures.
