Swedish term or phrase: angalleri
Hej! Detta handlar om en text inom ämnet konsthistoria där begreppet "angalleri" används vid ett tillfälle utan något ytterligare sammanhang. Utifrån resten av texten skulle jag anta att det handlar om ett mer eller mindre privat porträttgalleri. Tack på förhand!

Explanation:
Jag tror att du har rätt i att det är ett porträttgalleri så vitt jag kan se av olika Google-träffar. Pdf:filen som jag refererar till nedan går inte att söka i tyvärr, men Google-träffen (jag sökte på 'angallerier porträtt) ger följande text; Bakgrunden hölls neutralt mörkbrun. Ett skäl till denna föga varierade porträttkonst var vid sidan av rå- dande ideal att man börjat samla porträtt i s.k. angallerier.
