The Day of German Art was first commemorated 16th to 18th July 1937 by an exhibition in the newly built "House of Art" in Munich. Hitler personally opened this exhibition and inaugurated the "Day of German Art" on 16th July 1937. A similar exhibition and "Day of German Art" was held the following year 8th to 10th July 1938. This 1939 Day of Art was commemorated 14th to 16th July and was to be the last as henceforth Germany was to have little time left for leisure with World War II.

"Young Venetian Woman": This painting was done by Dürer in 1505 and is painted on wood measuring 33 centimetres x 25centimetres. This painting is unfinished.
