Bernhard Degenhart was a passionate art collector and connoisseur, with an eclectic taste that spanned across centuries and genres. His collection showcased masterpieces from renowned artists such as Albrecht Durer, Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, Hans Holbein the Younger, Eugene Delacroix, and many more. One of the highlights in Degenhart's collection was "Praying Hands" by Albrecht Durer. Created in 1508, this iconic artwork depicts hands folded in prayer, symbolizing devotion and spirituality. Another notable piece was "The Virgin and Child with St Anne and St John the Baptist, " a masterpiece from 1499-1500 that beautifully portrays maternal love and religious symbolism. Degenhart also had an appreciation for landscapes, evident through his acquisition of works like "Landscape with two cottages" by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn. Painted between 1650-1655, this serene landscape captures the beauty of nature with its rustic cottages nestled amidst lush greenery. His collection also included portraits like "Dorothea Kannengiesser" by Hans Holbein the Younger. This captivating portrait showcases Holbein's meticulous attention to detail while capturing the sitter's grace and elegance. In addition to these traditional artworks, Degenhart had a fascination for more contemporary pieces such as "Chariot" by Hans von Marees. Created around 1880, this painting exudes dynamism through its depiction of horses pulling a chariot at full speed. Amongst his diverse collection were also studies of human figures like Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld's "Semi-nude woman. " Painted in 1821, it explores sensuality through delicate brushwork and subtle lighting effects. Degenhart appreciated not only finished works but also sketches like Caspar David Friedrich's "Study of a woman from behind.
