77 paintings from the Nationalgalerie, Berlin, were shown in this exhibition, which came to Washington while the German museum was closed for renovation. The exhibition provided an overview of the work of 19th-century German painters, including Caspar David Friedrich, Adolf Menzel, and Ferdinand Waldmüller. Important works by Paul Cézanne, Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, and Claude Monet, acquired by the museum after Hugo von Tschudi became director in 1896, were also shown.
