By the mid-16th century, Mannerism had become the prevailing art style in Europe, and Rome was its most prominent art centre. Through printed art, news of the new art reached the broader public. The exhibition examines the role of printed graphic art as the populariser of examples and the harmoniser of pictorial language.

Curators: Greta Koppel and Anu Allikvee

A representative selection of the finely modelled and painted porcelain figurines and tableware from the museum of Europe’s oldest porcelain factory – the Museum of MEISSEN® Art in Dresden – will be brought to Estonia for the first time. The valuable porcelain items, which are related to the court culture of Saxony, as well as Russia, reflect the tastes, values and politics of the day.
The point of departure for the exhibition is the 20th anniversary of the Mikkel Museum. In Johannes Mikkel’s collection, Meissen porcelain always had a special place of honour.

Among private collections, the Sadolin art collection stands out due to its long history and high quality. The collection includes works by most of the artists who have designed the palette of Estonian art during the last decade. Supporting established and young emerging Estonian artists has been one of Sadolin’s most important activities throughout their 30 years. A selection of this outstanding collection is on display in this jubilee exhibition.
