## Commentary

The Kunsthalle \(art gallery\) in Karlsruhe is one of the early museum buildings of Germany. Hübsch underlines the importance of the building by using touches of grandeur drawn from architectural history and the careful selection of building material. The three-arch doorway motif confers an almost religious aura on the building. Hübsch succeeds in combining forms of German Romanticism and the Italian Renaissance into a new, very modern style.
