The Residenzgalerie is a collection of paintings in the Old Residence in Salzburg and part of the DomQuartier Salzburg.
history
The Landesgalerie, founded with the Czernin and Schönborn-Buchheim collections, provides a cross-section of painting from the 16th to 18th centuries and Austrian painting of the 19th century. It is reminiscent of the extensive collection of paintings by the archbishopric of the prince-archbishop, which at the time of Hieronymus Colloredo was already installed in the present-day gallery, but was looted several times during the French wars after 1800. During the time of the monarchy, numerous works of art were transferred from Salzburg to Vienna. The painting collection was inspired by many Salzburg artists, especially the Wassermann artists' association, shortly after the First World War , and opened in 1923. In addition to the restoration of a Salzburg art collection, the new gallery should also contribute to the establishment of an art academy; But it should also serve to promote tourism and offer additional cultural specialties in addition to the Salzburg Festival.
As a result of these efforts, the Czernin Count's Collection was only exhibited on loan in 1954 and purchased from 1980–1991. It mainly includes paintings by Dutch, but also Italian, Spanish and French artists of the 17th century. The first owner of the collection, which was created between 1800 and 1845, was Johann Rudolf Count Czernin von und zu Chudenitz , who studied law in Salzburg and was related to the Salzburg prince-archbishop Hieronymus Colloredo. In 1956, the collection that Friedrich Karl Graf Schönborn-Buchheim (1674–1746) had initiated and which mainly shows Dutch and Italian artists of the 17th century could be acquired on permanent loan .
The Residenzgalerie Salzburg is part of the “Private Art Collections” network.
