Würth Company
The core of this superb collection, devoted to the art of southwest Germany, the Lake Constance region and northern Switzerland from the late Middle Ages to the early modern era, is formed by the former Fürstlich Fürstenberg Collection of Paintings, Donaueschingen, acquired by the Würth family in 2003. The artistic and cultural significance of this collection alone is so great because the majority of its panels stem from a period from which, due to the especially radical iconoclasm that raged in Swabia, very few visual documents have survived.
The most important recent addition was without a doubt "The Madonna of the Mayor Jacob Meyer zum Hasen" by Hans Holbein the Younger. Holbein's painting ranks among the most famous and most beautiful paintings of the 16th century.
