The Kunstkammer
This is the first volume of a new publication series by the Kunstkammer Georg Laue: Kunstkammer Edition. From the preface of the editor Georg Laue: "The Kunstkammer Edition allows me the opportunity to publish academic articles on particular artists or objects alongside my existing catalogue series, which in contrast focuses on specific themes surrounding the Kunst- und Wunderkamer. I have deliberately decided to dedicate the first volume of the Kunstkammer Edition to the world of the Kunst- und Wunderkammer in general. It should give all Kunstkammer enthusiasts and experts the possibility to place the objects from the Kunstkammer Georg Laue within the context of this theme and to inspire the creation of their own collections."
Making Marvels
Featuring more than 150 treasures from several of the world’s most prestigious collections, Making Marvels explores the vital intersection of art, technology, and political power at the courts of early modern Europe. It was there, from the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, that a remarkable outpouring of creativity and learning gave rise to exquisite objects that were at once beautiful works of art and technological wonders. By amassing vast, glittering collections of these ingeniously crafted objects, princes flaunted their wealth and competed for mastery over the known world. More than mere status symbols, however, many of these marvels ushered in significant advancements that have had a lasting influence on astronomy, engineering, and even international politics. Incisive texts by leading scholars situate these works within the rich, complex symbolism of life at court, where science and splendor were pursued with equal vigor and together contributed to a culture of magnificence.
