What you'll see
Room after room of European paintings from the Renaissance and baroque, from Rembrandt and Vermeer to Titian, in the Zwinger's long gallery wing; the star is Raphael's Sistine Madonna, with the two bored cherubs at its foot.
A brief history
Saxony's rulers bought much of the collection in the 18th century; the paintings were hidden away during the war, taken to Moscow by the Soviets, and returned in 1955.
