The Holy Kinship by Lucas Cranach the Elder (around1510/1512) is one of the highlights of the Paintings Gallery collection. With the portraits of the artist and his family in the garb of the holy clan, the painting is also a major work in Cranach's oeuvre. We explain the conservation challenges of the panel painting and take a look beneath the paint layer using infrared reflectography.

Overview tour through the exhibition History Tales. Fact and Fiction in History Painting

The exhibition explores the representation of history in terms of identity and nation. How is the rise and fall of civilisations depicted? How is the hubris of humankind allegorised? And what sort of media transformations has the invention of photography and film brought about on the representations of myths, heroes, heroines, rulers and sovereigns as well as on pivotal historical events since the 19th century right through to the present day?
