Art treasures from Salzburg back: venture for expensive girls and goblets!
A fascinating chapter in art history is rewritten, because two important works of art from Salzburg return! As Museum-Kustos Andreas Herzog announced to the APA, it is unclear when and how exactly these treasures have disappeared. It is believed that many art treasures were brought to France during the Napoleonic wars and disappeared into Austria in Vienna in 1816 after the integration of Salzburg. The increasing demand on the art market could also have led to these valuable objects came abroad. But now there is reason to be happy: A valuable goblet was discovered by a "museum friend" in Paris and, with the financial support of another member of the museum association, was bought back for a five -digit amount.
But that's not all! An exquisite Madonna from the 15th century, which is one of the so -called "beautiful Madonna", is now part of the Salzburg collections. These figures, known for their special style features and especially produced in Salzburg and Prague, were presented in an exhibition in 1965 and have found numerous lovers since then. The purchase of this Madonna required a six -figure sum and was made possible by intimate connections between collectors and art dealers. The mining and Gothic Museum discovered the figure at an art dealer in Germany and organized a loan for the Leoganger Museum. Now, with the financial means that are available, this piece of jewelry can be secured for Salzburg, such as everyone reported.
The return of the timeless works of art
The return of these valuable objects not only marks a victory for the Salzburg cultural scene, but also illustrates the importance of maintaining art. These figures are part of a period of time in which art and culture bloomed, and their return is a festival for all art lovers. Museum-Kustos Andreas Herzog also sees a ray of hope for the cooperation between collectors and museums that bring the treasures of the cultural heritage back to the right place.
