· Berlin
In the late 18th century, Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki was the superstar among Berlin artists. To mark the 300th anniversary of his birth, the Kupferstichkabinett, in cooperation with the Akademie der Kunste, Berlin, and the Gemaldegalerie of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, dedicates a cabinet exhibition to his life and work.
Chodowiecki's prints, drawings, and paintings captured the everyday life, manners, and intellectual spirit of Enlightenment-era Berlin with unmatched precision and wit, making him one of the most widely reproduced artists of his time.
