# Christoph Müller Collection

The **Christoph Müller Collection** is a significant assemblage of approximately 500 works of Danish painting, drawing, and graphics donated by the Berlin collector Christoph Müller to the [[pommerschen-landesmuseum-greifswald]] in April 2016.

## Significance
The collection serves as a primary research reservoir for 19th-century Danish art, featuring works by artists such as:
- Jens Juel
- Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg
- Martinus Rørbye
- Peter Christian Skovgaard
- Johan Thomas Lundbye
- Vilhelm Melbye
- Wilhelm Marstrand

## Research Application
The collection is a central pillar of the [[theoria-research-group]], allowing researchers to study the transition from academic painting to nature-based "open air" (en plein air) painting and the transcultural links between Danish and North German Romantic artists.
