About Us

“alte pinsel” German for “old brushes”

From old brushes to old masters, we are the "alte pinsel" team. We cater to fine art collectors, researchers, consultants, gallerists, and educators. 


Our journey began with a deep passion for art and history, leading us to build a remarkable collection of 17th to 19th-century paintings over the years. 


Recently, collecting has transformed into a quest for uncovering the rich stories behind each brush stroke, going beyond the artists and common knowledge. Through dedicated art provenance research and collaboration with art professionals and analytical researchers worldwide, we have pieced together the narratives of our paintings, brush by brush. 


The elusive "eye for art" fosters a profound connection and passion for individual pieces. We hope you enjoy following the journey and stories of our collection.
