  Art of The Berlin Galleries - The Kaiser Friedrich Museum - History Of The Collection
In 1820 King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia decided to have a selection made of the principal Old Masters that had been collected by his ancestors as far back as the Great Elector, and which were kept in the palaces and castles at Berlin, Potsdam, and Charlottenburg.
Gustav Friedrich Waagen, the early German art student, who had been commissioned with the selection, chose three hundred and seventy-eight paintings, to which were added seventy-three from the Giustiniani Collection of one hundred and fifty-seven paintings which had been bought in Paris in 1815 for 540,000 francs.
The opening of the Kaiser Friedrich Museum, in 1904, was the occasion for the gift of the James Simon collection of a number of selected early Italian and early Netherland works, and of the Adolf Thiem collection of seventeenth century Dutch art.

When Friedrich Gilly returned from his Studienreise a close friendship developed between the two men, and by 1799 Schinkel was living in the Gilly household, using the library the young Gilly had assembled on his trip and copying his drawings and projects.
The marshy ground on which it was built was still crisscrossed with dikes, canals with ramshackle wooden bridges, sentry boxes and vendors' stalls producing a rustic atmosphere hardly appropriate to its status as the capital of a rising state.
The scheme was to include a new palace with forecourt on the north with an Opera House and Academy of Science flanking a square on the opposite side of the avenue.

 National Gallery, London - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
A critical House of Commons Report in 1851 called for the appointment of a director, whose authority would surpass that of the trustees.

However, the man preferred for the job by Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and the Prime Minister, Lord Russell, was the Keeper of Paintings at the Gallery, Sir Charles Lock Eastlake.

As a consequence, Rubens was extensively represented (by thirty-four works) in the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857 which Waagen curated with Charles Eastlake.
