AB  - Two exhibitions, displaying Beuronese art, were held in 2016 in Germany at two sites, quite remote from each other. Both opened in the same week on the 13th and 17th April. The exhibition in Limburg an der Lahn concentrated mainly on the work of the Beuronese painter P. Paul Adolf Krebs, who was creating cardboards of wall paintings, designed furniture, paraments or preciosa for the near Benedictine Abbey of St. Hildegard in Eibingen, which is almost unknown to us. This complex in the Rhein region was founded from the Prague abbey of St. Gabriel at Smíchov. The second exhibition in the cradle of Beuronese art on a slender Danube repeated the presentation of Jan Verkaden again, a pupil of Paul Gaugin and former member of the Prague Nabis group. After conversion this artist entered the Benedictine abbey in Beuron and worked there as P. Willibrord and a member of the Beuron art school. The range of the curators was wider this time and outlined the artists' mature work compared with the work of his colleagues. Both artists belonged to the team, which worked on the art decoration of St. Gabriel's church at Smíchov in 1895-1899.
