The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden is the artistic and cultural treasury of Saxony. From the middle of the sixteenth to the twentieth century, the collection and preservation of art were among the priviliges of the sovereigns. This publication features more than 150 major works of art from the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen-as well as from the world-renowned treasure-chamber museum Grünes Gewölbe (Green Vault)-that illustrate the richness of one of the most spectacular princely collections of Europe from the turn of the seventeenth-century: the Dresden Kunstkammer. During this period of unusual economic prosperity, the Electors of Saxony amassed exotic materials and precious stones mounted with gold and silver, ivory turnings, ebony furniture, clocks and automatons, arms and armor, and bronze sculpture by major European artists.
