This is the first cultural history of Baroque Dresden, the capital of Saxony and the most important Protestant territory in the Empire from mid-sixteenth to early-eighteenth century. It shows how the art patronage of the Electors fits into the intellectual climate of the age and investigates its political and religious context. Lutheran church music and architecture, the influence of Italy, and alchemy are among the colorful subjects that come into play.
