Lonely Planet review for Staatsgalerie

In a deconsecrated church attached to the Schaezlerpalais is the Staatsgalerie, which has mostly Augsburg-related works by Old Masters, including a portrait of Jakob Fugger by Albrecht Dürer, and a couple more works by Hans Holbein.

The Elder painted around 1500 (look closely and you'll see the sky-blue-and-white checks of the Bavarian flag on the trousers of the Bavarian provocateurs, highlighting the fierce rivalry between Augsburg and Bavaria, giving you an idea of the tensions to be overcome when Augsburg was absorbed into the Bavarian state).
