Summary
From the Preface by Georg Laue: The present Kunstkammer Edition is devoted to a gem of Augsburg cabinet-making that was commissioned by Bartholomeus Weisshaupt for the Spanish court ca. 1569: The Madrid Cabinet. 0Worked with consummate mastery, this ornate piece of intarsia furniture is exceptionally fine, teeming with a menagery of exotic animals whose habitat is a fantastic landscape with ruins. Formerly in a Spanish private collection, the Madrid Cabinet is matched in size and quality by only the Wrangelschrank in the LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur in Münster and the Milan Cabinet in the Collections of the Prince of Liechtenstein. In her essay dr. Virginie Spenlé describes the Madrid Cabinet in detail, and has been able through exhaustive and meticulous research and comparison to attribute it conclusively tot he Augsburg master Bartholomeus Weisshaupt. The essay by Almudena Pérez de Tudela, curator at the Real Monasterio de El Escorial, Madrid, sheds light on the export of fine Augsburg cabinets to the Spanish court in the second half of the sixteenth century. Based on proofs of purchase and commission, royal decrees and prolific correspondence, historic documents that are first published and reproduced here, her research reveals the brisk and extensive exchange of luxury goods and ideas between Augsburg and Madrid in a way that is both easy to follow and exciting to read.
