into sections corresponding to the various collections found in Dresden. Works
by Titian, Rembrandt, and Rubens came from the Gallery of Old Masters;
40 drawings were on display from the Department of Prints; the Grünes
Gewölbe lent items of goldwork from the 16th and 17th century, including
the famous diamond set, clocks, coral pieces, ivory, and enamel, as well as
precious items from the Collection of Bronzes, the Royal Gallery of Arms, the
Department of Coins, and the Collection of Antiques; the Collection of
Porcelain lent pieces from China and Meissen. The exhibition was prepared
by the curators of the Dresden galleries represented in the exhibition, under the
direction of Werner Schmidt. The editor of the jointly-prepared catalogue
was Dirk Syndram. Curators in Warsaw were Kazimierz Stachurski, Wanda
Zalçska, and Ewa Zakowska.
