Gemäldegalerie der Akademie der Bildenden (Gallery of Painting and Fine Arts)

Frommer's Review

This gallery is home to the Last Judgment triptych by Hieronymus Bosch. In this masterpiece, the artist conjured up all the demons of hell for a terrifying view of the suffering and sins that humankind must endure. You'll also be able to view many Dutch and Flemish paintings, some from as far back as the 15th century, although the academy is noted for its 17th-century art. The gallery boasts works by Van Dyck, Rembrandt, and a host of others. There are several works by Lucas Cranach the Elder, the most outstanding being his Lucretia from 1532. Some say it's as enigmatic as Mona Lisa. Rubens is represented here by more than a dozen oil sketches. You can see Rembrandt's Portrait of a Woman and scrutinize Guardi's scenes from 18th-century Venice.
