The Brukenthal
Palace
The
Brukenthal Palace
is one of the most remarkable monuments in late baroque style in Romania. It was
erected between 1778-1788 as an official residence Samuel von Brukenthal and as
a shelter for his collections.
The Baroque halls -the old
reception and music rooms of the Palace - on the first floor preserve the
original canvas and silk wall, the Rococo and Neo-classical white stoves and
18th century Transylvanian furniture.
The European painting collection of the Baron
Samuel von Brukenthal includes a number of about 1,200 works belonging to the
main European painting schools of the 15th up to the 18th century:
Flemish-Dutch, German and Austrian, Italian, Spanish and French. The present
exhibit offers visitors the possibility to compare the main artistic movements
and styles from the Renaissance to the Rococo.
