Anna Dorothea Therbusch in Context

The Berlin painter Anna Dorothea Therbusch (1721–1782) had a remarkable international career in the 18th century, with stops in Stuttgart, Mannheim and Paris.

There Anna Dorothea Therbusch was accepted into the Académie royale and exhibited in the Salon. After returning to her hometown in 1769, Therbusch became a sought-after portraitist in Berlin society and worked for the Russian tsar's court and the Prussian royal family.

The specialist 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 of Berlin and Brandenburg. It serves to bring researchers together, share the results obtained and show further research perspectives.
