Mart Erik, a third-generation forester, has transferred his love of the woods to his other passion: collecting art. The exhibition presents a selection from this thematically unique and stylistically diverse collection.
This unique private collection in Estonia provides an overview of Delftware, which represents a significant chapter not only in the artistic heritage of the Netherlands, but in the broader narrative of European applied art in the 17th and 18th centuries. The collection includes items designed after Chinese and Japanese porcelain, as well as tableware decorated with local motifs: Dutch landscapes and scenes from everyday life.
The display presents rare textiles, paintings and liturgical objects from the 11th to the 17th century, covering the Middle Ages through the works of El Greco and José de Ribera.
The Dresden State Art Collections and the Art Museum of Estonia present an ambitious collaborative exhibition exploring the intersections of Estonian and German/Saxon art in history and currently.
