Eyesore to jewel
On the outer wall of the long corridor in the stable yard, part of the Royal Palace, the artist Wilhelm Walther created the Procession of Princes, a historically accurate representation of all but the last of the rulers from the Wettin family which led Saxony for 829 years, down to the last detail. Since the image eroded quickly, it was transferred just 30 years later onto 25,000 seamless tiles made of Meissen porcelain, forming the largest porcelain picture in Europe. The second-largest adorns the lobby of Dresden-Neustadt station and is dedicated to the most beautiful castles in Saxony. |
