EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Furstenzug, also known as the Procession of the Dukes, in Dresden, Germany. The mural stretches along Auguststrasse and is composed of an astonishing 25,000 Meissen tiles. Depicting a timeline of Saxony's nobility from Konrad the Great to Friedrich August III, this masterpiece offers a glimpse into centuries of history. Originally painted by Wilhelm Walter between 1870 and 1876, time took its toll on the stucco rendering it fragile and crumbling. In a remarkable effort to preserve this cultural gem, around 1906-07 it was meticulously replaced with these exquisite tiles that now adorn the city's architecture. The intricate details showcased in this photograph highlight not only the craftsmanship involved but also pay homage to Saxony's rich heritage. Each tile tells a story; each nobleman represents an era long gone yet still cherished within these walls. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported back in time to witness Saxony's royal lineage unfold before your eyes. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity and progress, our past remains an integral part of who we are today. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply seeking to immerse yourself in European history during your travels, visiting Dresden's Furstenzug is sure to leave you awe-inspired by its sheer magnificence.
