Im September 2006 kehrte das weltberühmte 'Historische Grüne Gewölbe' nach sechzig Jahren ins Residenzschloss zurück. Der reich bebilderte Katalog unternimmt einen faszinierenden Rundgang durch dieses einzigartige 'Museumskunstwerk'. Das Grüne Gewölbe wurde von Kurfürst August von Sachsen um 1550 als 'Geheime Verwahrung' errichtet. August der Starke machte 1723 aus der Dresdner Schatzkammer das erste öffentlich zugängliche Museum für Schatzkunst. Seine Idee war einzigartig: Raumwände und Pfeiler wurden zu damals hochmodernen Kompositionen von Spiegeln, Ornamentfeldern und Konsolen; die kostbaren Kunstwerke verschmolzen mit den Prachtkabinetten. 1942 wurde die Sammlung geschlossen und auf die Festung Königstein in Sicherheit gebracht. Das Gehäuse des Museums und drei der acht Räume wurden zerstört. Erst ab 1974 war wieder ein Teil der Sammlung im Albertinum zu sehen. 2004 wurde das modern präsentierte 'Neue Grüne Gewölbe' mit Werken von der Renaissance bis zum Klassizismus im wieder errichteten Residenzschloss eröffnet. Mit dem historischen Teil wird die einzigartige Schatzkammersammlung endlich komplettiert. Das Buch stellt das aufwändig und prunkvoll rekonstruierte barocke Sammlungsgefüge und die bedeutendsten Ausstellungsobjekte vor.

The famous “Historisches Grünes Gewölbe” returns to the residential palace for the first time after 60 years in September 2006. The beautifully illustrated catalogue takes the reader on a fascinating tour through this unique “Gesamtkunstwerk”. The "Grünes Gewölbe" was founded in 1550 by Elector August of Saxony as the state treasury, "Geheime Verwahrung." Augustus the Strong converted it into a publicly accessible Schatzkunst museum in 1729. His idea was unrivalled: the eight display rooms with their exquisite interiors and the highly impressive mise en scène of the collection were designed to inspire amazement. The extravagant profusion of precious objects in gold, silver, enamel and precious stones, the ivories, bronzes and jewellery proclaimed the wealth and artistic taste of the Saxon dynasty. In 1942 the collection was closed and taken into storage at Königstein fortress. The museum's exterior and three of the eight rooms were severely damaged during the war. From 1974 a part of the collection could be seen again, but it was not until 2004 when the "Neues Grünes Gewölbe" was reopened with exhibits from the Renaissance to Neo-Classicism. The book introduces the masterpieces of this fascinating collection and provides an insight into the brilliant concept of the museum's founder, from which the inspiration for this presentation has been drawn.

The Historic Grünes Gewölbe at Dresden: The Baroque Treasury (Meisterwerke /Masterpieces)

Between 1723 and 1730 August the Strong -- Elector of Saxony and King of Poland -- had the Green Vault, a unique collection of European arts and crafts, established in the rooms of his residential palace in Dresden. a major portion of these art treasures is today displayed in the Albertinum Museum. The select representative objects, shown primarily in new photographs in this pictorial volume, reflect the opulent splendor of exquisite exotic materials and the sensuous charm of each individual artwork. Some masterpieces are published here for the first time; others are presented from a unique viewpoint which results in surprising new insights. Noble boxes were opened by the photographer so that the viewer could catch a glimpse of their interior designs. Or thew camera circles around a bronze group and is no doing captures its dance-like motion. Numerous selective enlargements exhibit the artful workmanship of the objects down to the smallest detail.

Between 1694 and 1731, Johann Melchior Dinglinger and his brothers created a stunning array of jewelry, figurines and display art in gold, enamel and jewels, which occupy a unique place in European art history. These works not only satisfied August II the Strong's sense of aesthetics, but served as a medium in his competition with the Habsburg dynasty and other European princes. This profusely illustrated volume showcases Dinglinger's artistic ingenuity and virtuosity and provides insight into the manufacture and technique of these elaborate pieces of art and craftsmanship.
