19 September 2025 - 11 January 2026

In its major autumn exhibition, the Albertina Museum has set out to stage a highly charged encounter between modernism and Gothic art. The spotlight here is on masterpieces ranging from symbolism to expressionism that take inspiration from medieval art’s emotional power.

With its approximately 200 works, this large-scale thematic exhibition sheds light on a phenomenon apparent between 1875 and 1925 in which numerous artists—including Paula Modersohn-Becker, Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Vincent van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, Käthe Kollwitz, Edvard Munch, Egon Schiele, and Helen Schjerfbeck—deliberately sought inspiration in the expressive power of artistic forebears such as Hans Holbein the Younger, Albrecht Dürer, Lucas Cranach, and Hans Baldung Grien. Encounters with the medieval aesthetic stirred deep emotions and opened up new avenues via which artists could grapple with the fundamental questions of human existence.
