Beschreibung

Comprising over 500 individual items, the collection of modern ivory artworks at the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum is one of the most extensive in Germany and Europe. The carved sculptures, reliefs and turned vessels offer an excellent overview of this art form; most can be traced back to 18 th -century Brunswick. The collection - which includes objects made of rhinoceros’ horn and hippopotamus’ teeth, for example, as well as ivory - focuses on sculptures and reliefs with mythological and religious subjects. Some magnificent works were crafted using a combination of ebony, deer antler, and coloured enamels. Turned pieces amaze us with their technical perfection. This inventory catalogue sums up the current state of knowledge and presents all the works in detail along with extensive illustrations. Richly-illustrated reference work covering all genres of historical ivory art, mainly from the 16 th to 18 th century. Scientifically founded reappraisal of a significant collection. The present volume concludes extensive research on ivory art and on the collection history of the Braunschweig museum. With works by Balthasar Permoser, Ignaz Elhafen, Leonhard Kern, Balthasar Grießmann, Jørgen Christensen Garnaas, Ferdinand Boy, Johann Christoph Ludwig Lücke, and others.
