History of the collection of early Netherlandish and German painting assembled and promoted by Sulpice and Melchior Boisserée, together with J.B. Bertram, in the years 1804-27. Traces their search for a permanent home for the collection in Cologne, Stuttgart, and finally Munich, where it was acquired by Ludwig I but soon dispersed by his art director Georg von Dillis. Examines the influence of Catholicism and nationalism on the Boisserée brothers' development of a restricted ideology and methodology. Defines their achievement in collecting, display, scholarship, and lithographic reproduction as a critical transition point between early and modern museological and art historical practices.
