The world-famous Schloss Ambras, Tyrol, whose unique arms and armor collection and Kunst- und Wunderkammer (art chamber) Archduke Ferdinand II transformed into the first weapons museum in history in the late 16th century, had a special exhibition named Ritter! (Knights!) in summer 2013.
The catalog is still available and highly recommended, even though its texts are in German. Attached please find, in order of appearance: - Some views of Schloss Ambras, which is recorded as early as the 10th century, and of its arms and armor collection - a painting of a joust at Schloss Tratzberg, Tyrol, by Hans Schäufelein, 1509 - Gobelin tapestries with the Habsburg pedigree Best Christmas Eve wishes from Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 25th December 2013 at 09:09 AM. |
