世界奇观

隐秘的宝藏、普遍的知识和精致的美丽

Wunderkammer，或称“珍奇柜”，收藏家们从艺术、科学和知识等许多方面收集物品，雄心勃勃地试图在一个房间里囊括人类的所有智慧。

从弗朗西斯科·德·美第奇大公、神罗皇帝鲁道夫二世到哈布斯堡大公费迪南德二世，这些贵族大师们收购、挑选并在真实的目录中展示了代表整个世界的物品，包括建筑、室内设计、绘画、雕塑、宝石学、地质学、植物学、生物学和分类学、占星术、炼金术、人类学、民族学和历史。

在这里发现独角兽的角（独角鲸的牙）、宝石、稀有的珊瑚、穆拉诺玻璃制品、绘画和奇特的机械自动装置。浏览异国情调和神话生物的插图，发现知名的“科堡象牙”，这是一系列惊人的工艺文物收藏。这些藏品不啻为一次时间之旅，从文艺复兴、发现时代、曼纳主义和巴洛克时期，一直到今天。虽然许多珍奇柜已经不复存在，但部分珍奇柜得到了精心地重建，新的珍奇柜也已经诞生。

现在，所有人都可以在这个藏品中探索这些奇妙的珍奇柜。为了实现这项巨大的事业，Massimo Listri在几十年间走访了七个欧洲国家，创作了这套华丽的照片，书中包括对19个珍奇柜的详细评论，突出了每个收藏品中的杰出物品。发现这些永恒的宝藏是如何描述和定义文明、现代博物馆的概念，以及我们对宇宙的认识。

英文简介：

Cabinets of curiosities fascinated people of the 16th and 17th centuries. They offered a glimpse into a world full of natural wonders and treasures that aimed to reflect the order of the universe. This volume takes us through the world's most beautiful collections, into the Medici treasury or the Green Vault (Grünes Gewölbe) of Dresden, and offers no less than a brief cultural history of the miraculous.

Wunderkammer of the World

Hidden treasures, dreams of universal knowledge, and exquisite beauty

The Wunderkammer, or "cabinet of curiosities," saw collectors gathering objects from many strands of artistic, scientific, and intellectual endeavor, in an ambitious attempt to encompass all of humankind's knowledge in a single room.

From the Grand Duke Francesco I de' Medici and Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II to Archduke Ferdinand II of Habsburg, these aristocratic virtuosos acquired, selected, and displayed the objects in real-life catalogues that represented the entire world—spanning architecture, interior design, painting, sculpture, gemology, geology, botany, biology and taxonomy, astrology, alchemy, anthropology, ethnography, and history.

Marvel at the unicorn horns (narwhal tusks), gems, rare coral growths, Murano glasswork, paintings and peculiar mechanical automata. Browse through illustrations of exotic and mythical creatures and discover the famed "Coburg ivories," an astounding collection of crafted artifacts. These collections are nothing short of a journey through time, from the Renaissance and Age of Discovery, the Mannerist and Baroque periods, up to the present day. Although many of these cabinets of curiosities no longer exist, others have been meticulously reconstructed, and new ones born.

These marvelous cabinets of curiosities can now be explored by all in this collection. To realize this mammoth undertaking, Massimo Listri traveled to seven European countries over several decades; the result is a set of gorgeous photographs, an authoritative yet accessible introduction, and detailed commentary on each of the 19 chambers highlighting the most remarkable items in each collection. Discover how these timeless treasures both describe and defined civilization, the modern concept of the museum, and our very knowledge of the universe.
