Rohan palace

The Rohan Palace in Strasbourg was built from 1732 to 1742 according to plans by Robert de Cotte, First Architect to the King, for Cardinal Armand-Gaston de Rohan-Soubise, Prince-Bishop of Strasbourg. Designed on the model of the great Parisian hotels, the Episcopal Palace of Strasbourg is one of the most beautiful architectural achievements of the French 18th century, both for the noble and classical elevation of its facades and for its sumptuous interior decorations. Built, decorated and furnished in the space of ten years, this sumptuous residence, which has remained almost unchanged since its construction, is distinguished by its exceptional unity of style. The city's Fine Arts Museum moved there in 1889, followed by the Archaeological Museum in 1913 and the Decorative Arts Museum in 1924.

Museums

[3 out of 9 museums of your choice in the City of Strasbourg by Pass] The Musée des Beaux-Arts presents an exceptional panorama of the history of painting in Europe from the Middle Ages to 1870: Italian and Flemish primitives (Giotto, Memling); the Renaissance and Mannerism (Botticelli, Raphael); the golden age of Dutch painting and the great names of Flemish painting (Rubens, Van Dyck); Baroque, Classicism and Naturalism in the 17th and 18th centuries (Vouet, Canaletto, Goya); Romanticism and Realism in the 19th century (Corot, Courbet). (Corot, Courbet).

A walk through paintings, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.The Fine Arts Museum was founded in 1880. Wilhelm Bode, curator in chief of the Berlin Museums, was asked to reconstitute the collections destroyed when the “Aubette” was burned down in 1870. Until 1914, Italian, Flemish and Dutch paintings were favored over French and German ones. The collections grew after 1919, under the guidance of H. Haug and his successors, with a notable increase in the number of French works. Unfortunately two disasters wreaked havoc on the palace: the building and the collections were seriously damaged when the Americans bombed the City in 1944 and the fire of 1947 destroyed several famous paintings. The priority today is given to the acquisition of French paintings ( 17th and 18th centuries), still poorly represented. The addition of the Kaufmann and Schlageter collection has drastically transformed the collections
