The Berlin painter Anna Dorothea Therbusch (1721–1782) enjoyed a remarkable international career in the eighteenth century, travelling to Stuttgart, Mannheim and Paris. Here, she was accepted into the Académie royale and she exhibited at the Salon. Back in her native city in 1769, Therbusch became a sought-after portraitist of Berlin society and worked for the Russian Tsar’s court and the Prussian royal family.

The symposium marks the conclusion of a two-year art-historical and art-technological research and publication project by the Berlin Gemäldegalerie on Therbusch’s works in the public collections in Berlin and Brandenburg. It serves to bring researchers together, share the results obtained and highlight further research perspectives.
