Wonderful and impossible art collections
Charles Friedrich Alfred Vetter - A Visit to the Munich Pinakothek |
Between the sixteenth and the eighteenth century there were no museums, art
collections were private and were
part of the collections of
rare and curious objects that the nobles of the time showed in rooms marked
as "cabinet of wonders" (or Wunderkammer).
One of the most famous was the "Chamber of Art and Curiosities"
of Ferdinand II of Habsburg.
The works that I propose in this post contain some images of Wunderkammer, but most of the paintings are in the pictures. Wonderful art collections and often impossible because sometimes the plays performed could not be together in one place. Sometimes, for fun, try to guess which works are painted in these extraordinary collections. You will acknowledge any of them?

Hubert Robert - Vue de la Grande Galerie du Louvre |
Jan van Kessel il Vecchio - The Continent of Africae |
Johann Zoffany - La tribuna degli Uffizi |
fascinating... I like the continent of Africae. This would be a fun way to study paintings for an art history class.
