Prehn'sches Kabinett

The database documents Prehn's miniature cabinet, a unique collection of 874 small-format paintings ranging from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. It provides basic information on all 32 folding boxes and each painting, including the artist, date, technique, material, dimensions, inventory number, and a brief description. Additionally, detailed art-historical analyses, descriptions of painting techniques, and various indexes (e.g., artist, literature, and provenance) are available for download as PDF files. Thus, the database provides comprehensive insight into the composition, history, and research of this exceptionally well-preserved collection.
