The Provenance of the Thun-Hohenstein Albums: Děčín Castle Library - Its History and Vicissitudes

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The fate of two albums containing drawings of Renaissance armors symptomatically reflects the historical turns of events that marked Central Europe of the 20th century and dramatically affected the history of the region’s art collections. The albums preserved over several centuries in the Thun-Hohenstein Library at the castle in Děčín/Tetschen in northern Bohemia have been known to specialists since 1888, but after the Second World War the books were considered lost or even destroyed. In fact, they were in 1945 confiscated and entrusted in 1953 to the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague. The study published in the Jahrbuch des Kunsthistorischen Museums Wien deals with the history of the albums and examines their provenance (the first, securely documented owner was Count Johann Joseph Anton Thun-Hohenstein). The Thun-Hohenstein albums are of seminal importance not only for their wealth of information on late medieval and Renaissance armor and weapons, but also due to the fact that their provenance investigation substantially enhances the hitherto knowledge of the history of the Děčín Castle’s collections and its library in particular.
