Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum highlights

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum Tickets - St. Catherine of Alexandria

St. Catherine of Alexandria

Situated at the intersection of baroque and naturalist styles, Caravaggio’s portrait of St. Catherine of Alexandria shows a woman kneeling on a red cushion. The woman in the portrait is associated with Fillide Melandroni, one of Rome’s most coveted courtesans, who frequently modelled for Caravaggio in the 4th century. 

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum Tickets - Giovanna degli Albizzi Tornabuoni

Giovanna degli Albizzi Tornabuoni

Domenico Ghirlandaio’s portrait of Giovanna degli Albizzi Tornabuoni is emblematic of classical antiquity, drawn in typical Quattrocento style. The idealized extremely delicate features of the model with a prayer book and rosary with coral beads in the background is indicative of her pious and noblewoman character. 

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum Tickets - Les Vessenots

Les Vessenots

True to his Post-Impressionist roots, Vincent Van Gogh painted a few trees, simple cottages, and yellow and green wheat fields in his ‘Les Vessenots’ in Auvers in 1890. His nervous brushstrokes represent a sense of freedom and vitality intermingled with feelings of loneliness in the last few years of his life.

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum Tickets - Jesus Among the Doctors

Jesus Among the Doctors

Albrecht Durer’s ‘Jesus Among the Doctors’ signaled the arrival of new ideas from northern Europe. The portrait shows Jesus’s first act of sharing theological sermons at the age of 12. Durer brings forward the ideals of harmony, beauty, and perfection found in Italian art and blends them with the German way of seeing the world.

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum Tickets - Waterloo Bridge

Waterloo Bridge

The most unique element in André Derain’s 1906 painting is the mosaic effect achieved through pointillist techniques. In true Fauvist style, Derain captured the banks of the Thames River in shades of blue, purple, grey, and green, only bringing out pops of yellow and orange to depict sunlight. 

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum Tickets - Young Knight in a Landscape

Young Knight in a Landscape

Vittore Carpaccio's ‘Young Knight in a Landscape’ depicts a full-length portrait of a young knight almost about to draw his sword. The vibrant colors and magical mood in the background are in contrast to Carpaccio's love for detail. The flora and fauna allude to the virtues a young knight must embody to rise through the ranks. 

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum Tickets - Rue Saint-Honoré in the Afternoon

Rue Saint-Honoré in the Afternoon

Camilla Pissaro captured the edge of Théâtre Français (now known as Place André-Malraux) and rue Saint-Honoré in this 1897 oil painting. It depicts buildings, people, and street lamps after receiving a shower of rain. It marked Pissaro’s shift from pointillist techniques to Impressionist styles. 

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum Tickets - Harlequin with a Mirror

Harlequin with a Mirror

Pablo Picasso’s 1923 ‘Harlequin with a Mirror’ is assumed to be a self-portrait drawn in circus and commedia dell’arte style. The figure wears a harlequin’s two-cornered hat and an acrobat’s costume. The figure has distinct classical proportions that Picasso adapted in his paintings after 1917. 

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum Tickets - Mata Mua

Mata Mua

‘Mata Mua’, literally meaning Olden Times, is Paul Gaugin’s effort to flee from everything artificial and conventional. The 1891 painting depicts the Tahiti moon goddess, Hina in flat colors. The painting is simple with followers surrounding the portrait of goddess Hina, engaged in her worship.
