Städelsches Kunstinstitut/Städische Galerie (Städel Art Institute/Städel Gallery)
The Städel is Frankfurt’s most important art gallery, and one of the the top museums in Germany, bringing together noteoworthy collections of painting, sculpture, and drawings from medieval to modern Europe, and a photography collection that spans the entire spectrum of photographic art. The first floor features French Impressionists such as Renoir and Monet, along with German painters of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Tischbein’s famous Portrait of Goethe in the Campagna in Italy. If you’re short on time, the second floor displays an outstanding collection of Flemish primitives, 17th-century Dutch artists, and 16th-century German masters, such as Dürer, Grünewald, and Memling. One of the most impressive paintings is Jan van Eyck’s “Madonna” (1433). A large altarpiece and an impish nude Venus represent the work of Lucas Cranach. In the Department of Modern Art hang works by Francis Bacon, Dubuffet, Tapies, and Yves Klein.
