Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe is a museum of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe which preserves collections of artists mainly German, Flemish, French, retracing an artistic panorama of over eight centuries. Opened in 1846, it is one of the oldest museum spaces in Germany. It was created especially for the large art collection of the Princely House of Baden, the basis of which was the so-called Mahlerey Cabinet of Margravine Karoline Luise (1723–1783). The collection contains about 800 works, including some particularly significant such as the "Portrait of a Young Man" by Frans van Mieris the Elder, the "Winter landscape with a lime kiln" by Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, the "Merlettaia" by Gerard Dou, the "Still life with hunting tools and a dead partridge" by Willem van Aelst, "Peace in the Chicken yard" by Melchior de Hondecoeter and a self-portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn. There are also four still lifes by Jean Siméon Chardin and two scenes of shepherds by François Boucher, which Margrave had commissioned directly from the artists. Works of art in the German late Gothic and Renaissance painters department include "Christ as the Man of Sorrows" by Albrecht Dürer, the "Transport of the Cross" and "The Crucifixion" by Matthias Grünewald, "Mary with the Child" by Lucas Cranach the Elder, the portrait of Sebastian Brant by Hans Burgkmair the Elder and "The Birth of Christ" by Hans Baldung.
