Das Wunderbare in der Kunst und Art der Alten
In the organizer's words:
Around 300 years ago, Augustus the Strong began collecting painted fine ceramics in Dresden. Since then, a collection of around 2000 antique vessels has been assembled with passion and expertise. The cabinet exhibition in the Semper Gallery shows around 80 particularly beautiful Greek and Lower Italian works, mainly from the 6th to 4th centuries BC.
For Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768), the founder of classical archaeology and modern art history, ancient painted clay vessels were the marvel of the art and art of the ancients. He even compared the vase paintings with Raphael's drawings. The marvelous - in other words, something that causes astonishment. And just as Winckelmann marveled at the artistry of the vase painters, the ancient vessels have enchanted lovers, connoisseurs, collectors and researchers for centuries with their harmonious forms, ornamental decorations and figurative motifs from everyday life and myth.
Discover divine beings, virtuous people or adorable animals. Marvel at the perfect vessel shapes, the finest painting techniques and exciting object stories!
