Trailer: Magical Reflections – Johann Erdmann Hummel

Film

The Alte Nationalgalerie is dedicating a long-overdue exhibition to the painter Johann Erdmann Hummel (1786–1822), an artist who, despite his historical significance, has long been neglected. The Nationalgalerie hosted a first retrospective of Hummel’s work back in 1924, while under the direction of Ludwig Justi. Based on works from the collection of the Nationalgalerie, the show Magical Reflections – Johann Erdmann Hummel allows audiences to rediscover Hummel’s painting, some 100 years on.
