Guided tour of the Fritz Prölß exhibition

General infos

The special exhibition "Painters.People.Mittenwald." presents over 75 works by the portrait and genre painter Fritz Prölß. For the first time, ten pencil and charcoal drawings from the early 1870s are on display at the Geigenbaumuseum. These portraits already reveal the great talent of the still young academy student and thus refer to the portraits of Mittenwald residents created in Mittenwald from the 1880s onwards, which Prölß also sketched in charcoal and pencil or painted in oil.
The people portrayed by Prölß are the focus of the exhibition. Trace the different personalities (violin makers, young girls and women in traditional costume, merchants' children or hunters and hunting assistants) and find out more about their names and families, their professions and their (life) stories. For example, the houses of the Mittenwald residents portrayed are marked on a historical map of the violin-making village.
Guided tours through the special exhibition with museum director Dr. Reinhard Nießner take place every first Sunday of the month at 2:30 pm. Dates: 05.01., 02.02., 02.03., 06.04., 04.05. - Regular museum admission required. Please register by telephone on 08823/2511.
