List of sculptures, reliefs and medallions at the Sempergalerie

The list of sculptures, reliefs and medallions at the Sempergalerie gives an overview of the entire building sculpture (sculptures, reliefs and medallions) at the Sempergalerie , a cultural monument in the inner old town of the Saxon state capital Dresden . It is believed that the iconographic image program of the Sempergalerie goes back to Gottfried Semper himself. While it shows Christian motifs on the side of the kennel (mainly carried out by Ernst Julius Hähnel ), on the Elbe side of the gallery mainly antique motifs and personalities can be seen (mainly carried out by Ernst Rietschel). The description of the artistic work follows the information provided by Magirius .
