$a The title on the German title-page reads, 'Prodromus, Oder, Vor-Licht Des eröffneten Schau und Wunder-Prachtes Aller deren An dem Kaiserl. Hof In Allerhochst Seiner Kaiserl. Konigl./ und Kathol. Majestat unsers glorwürdigst Regierenden Monarchens Carl des Sechsten ...'. The work is an account of the collections of painting and sculpture in the 'Stallburg' in Vienna, showing them displayed in the sort of 'hang' then fashionable, with works of art closely covering each wall and picture-frames touching each other. The plates consist of: a portrait of Charles VI (incorporated in the dedication-plate); the ground-plan of the gallery, with two portraits of the authors (first unnumbered plate); interior views of the rooms (second unnumbered plate); grouped paintings (plates 4-26); groups of sculpture (plates 27-30). |
