Since 1869 the uniquely comprehensive collec- tion, developed from the beginning by the citizens of Hamburg, has been open to the public at the heart of the city. The joint effort has resulted in one of the most important museums in Germany. In the anniversary year, we will direct our attention to the museum and its col- lection from diversified and sometimes unusual perspectives: with many inter- ventions in the collection, discussions, the participation of our audience and, not least, a big birthday party. The great artists Giambattista Tiepolo, Fragonard, François Boucher, Joshua Reynolds and Goya responded to the ideological, political and societal changes of the 18th century with their art. They revolutionized painting by redefining artistic standards and breaking with conventions in an equally innovative and provocative manner. Based on these fundamental changes, they created the foundations of Modernism in the great artistic centres of Venice, Paris, London, Hamburg and Madrid.
