In Strasbourg he acquired the sketchbook of Hans Baldung Grien and a large collection of drawings. Among Frederick V\u2019s many acquisitions was the largest collection in the world of cartoons and design drawings for stained and painted glass windows, around 420 prints by Dutch Mannerists, some 100 sheets by Hendrick Goltzius, around 150 engravings after Peter Paul Rubens and Anthonis van Dyck and more than 1500 works in all by contemporary artists of his day. His son, Frederick VI of Baden-Durlach, also dedicated himself to acquiring works in the graphic medium.<\/p>\n<p>At the outbreak of the Nine Years\u2019 War in 1688, his successor, Frederick VII Magnus, saved the collection from destruction by having it removed from the Karlsburg in Durlach and taken to Basel for safekeeping. By this time, the collection\u2019s inventory listed more than 700 paintings, including Jan van Hemes\u00adsen\u2019s \u201cLoose Company\u201d and Hans Burgkmair\u2019s portrait of Sebastian Brant, scholar and author of the \u201cNarrenschiff\u201d or \u201cShip of Fools\u201d. Margrave Hermann of Baden-Baden grew into a passionate connoisseur of art, who left an indelible mark on the character of today\u2019s collection at the Staat\u00adliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe. Hermann initially fought against the troops of Louis XIV and was later active as a diplomatic emissary.<\/p>\n<p>Around 20 works, now held at the Kunsthalle, date from the private collection of Hermann, the imperial field marshal who surrounded himself with pictures by living artists of his day. The Kunsthalle has his appreciation of art to thank for many canvases now in the collection, including Jacob Jordaens\u2019 large-scale painting Moses Striking the Rock.<\/p>\n<h3>The Margravine Caroline Louise<\/h3>\n<p>The most important and fruitful period in the formation of the margraves\u2019 collection was shaped not by a man, but a woman, who married into the Durlach line in 1751. Her name was Caroline Louise, Princess of Hessen-Darmstadt, and she married Margrave Charles Frederick (Karl Friedrich) at age 28. His grandfather Karl Wilhelm had founded the city of Karlsruhe and started construction on his new palace in 1715.<\/p>\n<p>A talented and well-educated woman, Caroline Louise forged and maintained ties with numerous writers and thinkers of her day. The margravine predominantly collected works by fijnschilders or \u2018fine painters\u2019 whose works tended to be intimate in scale and subject. Dutch realism appealed to her tastes more than the grand gestures typical of Baroque art or the florid court art of the Rococo. She sent her advisors forth in search of works that were to be \u2018tr\u00e8s finis\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>She favoured above all Flemish works from the 17th century and French painting by living artists and these kinds of works found their way into her \u2018cabinet of art\u2019, or Kunstkabinett. In 1759, she commissioned two pastoral shepherd scenes from Fran\u00e7ois Boucher, while acquiring five paintings from Jean Baptiste Chardin, of which four still lifes can still be found in the Kunsthalle\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n                        \n\n                        <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-copy\" style=\"text-align: left\" >\n    <div class=\"container-fluid\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 col-sm-offset-2\">\n                <div class=\"box\">\n                    <div class=\"copy editor\"><h3>Directors of the Kunsthalle<\/h3>\n<p>1829 \u2013 1858: Carl Ludwig Frommel<br \/>\n1858 \u2013 1880: Carl Friedrich Lessing<br \/>\n1880 \u2013 1893: Wilhelm L\u00fcbke<br \/>\n1893 \u2013 1899: Ernst Richard<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>1899 \u2013 1920: Hans Thoma<br \/>\n1920 \u2013 1927: Willy Storck<br \/>\n1927 \u2013 1933: Lilli Fischel (kommissarisch)<br \/>\n1933 \u2013 1934: Hans Adolf B\u00fchle<br \/>\n1934 \u2013 1956: Kurt Martin<br \/>\n1956 \u2013 1973: Jan Lauts<br \/>\n1973 \u2013 1995: Horst Vey<br \/>\n1995 \u2013 2009: Klaus Schrenk<br \/>\nsince 2009: Pia M\u00fcller-Tamm<\/p>\n                        \n\n                        <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Far older than the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe\u2019s actual building is the collection it holds.
