  • Augustus II the Strong's Porcelain Collection at the Japanisches
    Augustus II the Strong’s Porcelain Collection at the Japanisches Palais zu Dresden: A Visual Demonstration of Power and Splendor Zifeng Zhao Department of Art History & Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal September 2018 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts © Zifeng Zhao 2018 i Abstract In this thesis, I examine Augustus II the Strong’s porcelain collection in the Japanisches Palais, an 18th-century Dresden palace that housed porcelains collected from China and Japan together with works made in his own Meissen manufactory. I argue that the ruler intended to create a social and ceremonial space in the chinoiserie style palace, where he used a systematic arrangement of the porcelains to demonstrate his kingly power as the new ruler of Saxony and Poland. I claim that such arrangement, through which porcelains were organized according to their colors and styles, provided Augustus II’s guests with a designated ceremonial experience that played a significant role in the demonstration of the King’s political and financial prowess. By applying Gérard de Lairesse’s color theory and Samuel Wittwer’s theory of “the phenomenon of sheen” to my analysis of the arrangement, I examine the ceremonial functions of such experience. In doing so, I explore the three unique features of porcelain’s materiality—two- layeredness, translucency and sheen. To conclude, I argue that the secrecy of the technology of porcelain’s production was the key factor that enabled Augustus II’s demonstration of power. À travers cette thèse, j'examine la collection de porcelaines d'Auguste II « le Fort » au Palais Japonais, un palais à Dresde du 18ème siècle qui abritait des porcelaines provenant de Chine, du Japon et de sa propre manufacture à Meissen.

Powazek Master of Arts, Graduate Program in Art History University of California, Riverside, June 2020 Dr. Kristoffer Neville, Chairperson When the Albertine Dukes of Saxony gained the Electoral privilege in the second half of the sixteenth century, they ascended to a higher echelon of European princes. Elector August (r. 1553-1586) marked this new status by commissioning a monumental tomb in Freiberg Cathedral in Saxony for his deceased brother, Moritz, who had first won the Electoral privilege for the Albertine line of rulers. The tomb’s magnificence and scale, completed in 1563, immediately set it into relation to the grandest funerary memorials of Europe, the tombs of popes and monarchs, and thus establishing the new Saxon Electors as worthy peers in rank and status to the most powerful rulers of the period. By the end of his reign, Elector August sought to enshrine the succeeding rulers of his line in an even grander project, a dynastic chapel built into Freiberg Cathedral directly in front of the tomb of Moritz.

  • OPTICAL OBJECTS in the DRESDEN KUNSTKAMMER: LUCAS BRUNN and the COURTLY DISPLAY of KNOWLEDGE Sven Dupré and Michael Korey* Intr
    OPTICAL OBJECTS IN THE DRESDEN KUNSTKAMMER: LUCAS BRUNN AND THE COURTLY DISPLAY OF KNOWLEDGE Sven Dupré and Michael Korey* Introduction The museum situation that we see today in Dresden is the consequence of a radical reorganization of the Saxon court collections by Friedrich August I (August the Strong) in the 1720s.1 One of the steps in this restructuring was the formation of a distinct, specialized collection of scientifi c instruments, which is the basis of the Mathematisch- Physikalischer Salon. This reorganization effectively ended two centuries’ development of the Kunstkammer,2 the vast early modern collection in Saxony thought to have been founded around 1560 by Elector August.3 It was principally in the context of this Kunstkammer that ‘scientifi c instruments’ were collected in Dresden in the course of the 16th and 17th centuries. We will sketch the evolution of the Dresden Kunstkammer * The research of the fi rst author has been made possible by the award of a post- doctoral fellowship and a research grant of the Research Foundation—Flanders. 1 On this reorganization of the collections, see Dirk Syndram, Die Schatzkammer Augusts des Starken. Von der Pretiosensammlung zum Grünen Gewölbe, Dresden-Leipzig, 1999, and Helen Watanabe-O’Kelly, Court Culture in Dresden: From Renaissance to Baroque, New York, Palgrave, 2002, ch. 7. 2 Even after its reorganization under August the Strong, a truncated torso of the Kunstkammer in fact continued to be displayed—including a gallery of fi ne clocks and automata—until its fi nal dissolution in 1832. Many of the remaining items were then absorbed into several other Dresden court collections: the Grünes Gewölbe (Green Vault), the Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon, and the Historisches Museum, now once again known as the Rüstkammer (Armoury).

The presented research focuses on the relationship between art and architecture. On the example of the mural Der Weg der Roten Fahne (The Path of the Red Flag) installed at the western façade of the Kulturpalast Dresden (Palace of Culture in Dresden) the author analyses the necessity of the mural as an immanent element to communicate political decisions of the German Democratic Republic’s government to the public by using architecture. Up until now the mural reinforces the political value of the International Style building in function and shape and links its volume to the urban layout.

    FREDERICK THE GREAT‟S PORCELAIN DIVERSION: THE CHINESE TEA HOUSE AT SANSSOUCI Tania Solweig Shamy Department of Art History and Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal October 2009 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of doctor of philosophy. ©Tania Solweig Shamy 2009 Abstract This thesis signals a new approach in the study of the Chinese Tea House at Sanssouci. It argues that Frederick the Great‟s exotic pavilion, although made of sandstone and stucco, is porcelain in essence. The garden building reflects the many meanings of this highly valued commodity and art form in the privileged society of the king and his contemporaries. The pavilion is unique in that it was inspired by the type of sculptural ornament designed to decorate the eighteenth- century table of the nobility. The Tea House is a thematically integrated structure that demonstrates the influence of porcelain on interior décor and architecture. The designation of the garden building as a Gesamtkunstwerk acknowledges the blending of architecture, painting, and sculpture; characteristics shared by porcelain centerpieces. They exemplify the intermediality associated with the development of eighteenth- century porcelain and the interpretation of Frederick‟s pavilion. ii Résumé Cette thèse annonce une approche nouvelle dans l‟étude de la Maison de Thé Chinoise à Sans-Souci. Elle soutient que le pavillon exotique de Frédéric Le Grand, fait de pierre et de stuc, représentait intrinsèquement la porcelaine. Ainsi, cette construction de jardin refléterait de fait les sens multiples accordés par la société privilégiée du Roi et de ses contemporains à cette commodité de luxe et à cette forme d‟art.

  • Migrations in the German Lands: an Introduction ALEXANDER SCHUNKA
    12 Migrations in the German Lands: An Introduction ALEXANDER SCHUNKA Overview he history of human cultures is a history of migrations and movements.1 TThe contours of human mobility are remarkably sensitive to a broader historical context, and migrations have to a large extent produced and affected historical realities. Based on the insight that cultures are always shaped by mobility and exchange, scholars have developed a growing interest in under- standing the cross-cultural connections and conflicts that emerge in response to migration. Dealing with the history of immigration into Germany during the last five hundred years, the present volume breaks new ground. For a long time, immigration into Germany was not considered as historically relevant as the emigrations of Germans to the New World, to Russia, and elsewhere. The question of whether Germany was predominantly a land of emigration or one of immigration has become a political issue during the last thirty years, leaving its imprint on historical research. Migration illustrates a particular tension between the realities of human movement in German history and the capacity of the country’s social, cultural, and political institutions to absorb its effects. Indeed, the politics of migration in Germany have helped to produce any number of frank assertions about the desirability—and in fact the very nature of—a heterogeneous Germany. The stakes were perhaps never more clear than in the political statements originating in the 1982 federal coalition agreement between the West German ruling Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU) and the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP): the “Federal Republic of Germany is not a country of immigration.

  • Carlo Farina's Capriccio Stravagante
    “Die Natur und Kunst zu betrachten”: Carlo Farina’s Capriccio stravagante (1627) and the Cultures of Collecting at the Court of Saxony Downloaded from Rebecca Cypess http://mq.oxfordjournals.org/ Like many noblemen of his time, Johann Georg I, Elector of Saxony from 1611 to 1656, was a collector. Official court records, together with accounts left by curious visitors, attest to the variety and richness of the collections that he inherited, enhanced, and expanded: individual rooms were devoted to books, live animals, stuffed animals, wine, armor, cos- tumes, and hunting gear. The Saxon collections focused especially on at Brandeis University library on December 11, 2012 practical tools rendered in artistic fashions, from rakes and picks to surgi- cal instruments, optical instruments, and naturally, musical instruments. At the heart of the collections at the Saxon court in Dresden was the Kunstkammer. Translated literally, the title denotes merely a room of art. But in the Dresden court and other German courts in the late Renaissance and early modern era, the meanings of the Kunstkammer for the practice and knowledge of the arts, humanities, and sciences were much more far-reaching. The Electoral Kunstkammer did indeed contain paintings that hung on walls, but it also housed a vast array of artifacts, novelties, and curiosities—some exhibiting distinctly Saxon origins and characters and others imported from exotic places abroad—that bore witness to human interaction with and mastery over nature.1 Philipp Hainhofer—an adviser to the court of Augsburg and himself a theorist and practitioner of the art of collecting—left two substantial descriptions of the Dresden collections in his travel diaries of 1617 and 1629;2 a statement in his diary of 1617 suggests that the exploration of the rela- tionship between man and the world around him was one of the primary focal points of the Kunstkammer.
