Water—from the joys of swimming to sailors' tall tales
Was wäre der Sommer ohne das Plätschern der Wellen oder einen Sprung ins kühle Nass? Auf den Bildern der Gemäldegalerie entdeckst du Geschichten rund um das Wasser – vom lustigen Badevergnügen, Schiffsreisen durch die Welt bis zu wilden Stürmen auf hoher See.
