Among Gods and Men. Classical Sculpture from the Albertinum in Dresden and the Museo del Prado

Exhibition organised by the Museo del Prado and the Skulpturensammlung Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden
Curators: Stephan F. Schröder (Madrid), Moritz Woelk and Kordelia Knoll (Dresden)
One of the finest historical collections of classical sculpture will be seen for the first time outside Germany at the Museo del Prado. This is the collection of the Albertinum in Dresden, acquired in the 18th century by Augustus the Strong, King of Poland and Saxony. Through a unique agreement between the two institutions, it will be displayed in Madrid while the Albertinum is temporarily closed. Entitled Among Gods and Men. Classical Sculptures from the Albertinum in Dresden and the Museo del Prado, the exhibition will include 46 of the Albertinum’s finest sculptures including the Dresden Ephebus by the School of Polyclitus, the Dresden Zeus and the Lemnia Athena, both by Phidias, and the Dresden Maenad, along with 20 classical sculptures from the Museo del Prado in an unrepeatable artistic encounter.
