A spectacular blue skied Winter day put us in the mood for checking out one of the fine museums nestled in Museum Island. Alte Nationalgalerie houses a collection of Classical, Romantic, Impressionist and Modernist artwork.
More after the jump..

To name a few...Adolph Menzel, Edouard Manet and Claude Monet. Dan is a big fan of spending hours weaving through artwork so we spent a solid hour and a bit in this impressive museum, whilst learning about our preferred pieces from the collection. Daniels favourite was Arnold Bröcklin’s “Die Toteninsel (1883).
I have big love for the work of Karl Friedrich Schinkel. He's a very clever man, aside from his exquisite artwork he's notable as one of Germany's most prominent architectures. His forte was neoclassical and neogothic buildings, as you can see in the painting featured below his paintings often feature the latter.
I found this sweet little snowman minding his own business right outside the gallery.
