Samenvatting
Excerpt from Guide to the Royal Collections of Dresden
The Zwinger erected between 1711 and 1722 by M. D. Poppelmann (1662 - 1736) for the Fetes and Tournaments of King Augustus II, took its name from the former "Zwinger," a space adjoining the fortifications of the town. The work with its picturesque decoration being an entirely original production of this German master, may be considered one of the most brilliant examples of the national Barock style. The building was begun on the "rampart" or western side, and the centre of this crowned by Permoser's "Hercules" is from an artistic point of view the gem of the whole. The southern side containing the entrance, an archway surmounted by a tower, was next erected. In 1722 on the completion of the eastern side (which the Grand Opera House and another building then adjoined) the work was broken off, the northern side being temporarily filled in by a wall painted to represent a row of arches. The ceilings in the four corner-buildings were painted by Fehling, Pellegrini and Louis de Sylvestre. Only the work of the latter in the Mathematische Salon, representing Olympus, and painted between 1717 - 28 has survived; it was restored in 1862 and 1863 by Walther, and between 1892 - 95 by Gey and Steglich. Two statues done by Balthasar Permoser in 1715 and 1716 for these buildings have been removed from the Mineralogical Museum to the Collection of Sculpture.
