The princely treasures examined in this book survive from the Renaissance tradition of hoarding wealth not merely for reasons of war and defense but also for the love of collecting beautiful, "marvelous," or rare things. In this all-color book the reader will encounter some of the most fascinating personalities of medieval-Renaissance/Baroque Europe, as well as some of the brightest stars of the European decorative arts: the sculptors Benvenuto Cellini, Adriaen de Vries, and Balthasar Permoser, the silversmiths Wenzel Jamnitzer and Johann Melchior Dinglinger, the Saracchi and Miseroni lapidarists of Milan, the painter Pol and Jean de Limbourg, Jan Vermeyen, and Guiseppe Arcimboldo, the enamalist Pierre Courteys, and the ceramist Bernard Palissy, among scores of others.

Jean, Duc de Berry created the first princely treasure chamber at Chantilly, including precious objects in silver and gold and a world-famous collection of illuminated manuscripts. The Medici of Florence soon followed, occupying the talents of goldsmiths, intaglio carvers of crystal, silversmiths, bronze sculptors and casters. Treasuries in northern Europe incoporated scientific instruments as well as natural wonders gathered from all over the world. This volume shows the finest pieces from collections still intact and reassembles the dispersed treasuries of such rulers as the Grand Duke Ferdinand of Tyrol at Schloss Ambras at Innsbruck and the Emperor Rudolf II at Prague.
