Synopsis
Contributing Authors

This monograph focuses on the medallist and wax embosser Raimund Faltz (1659- 1703). After training in Stockholm near the residence of Charles XI and developing his craft in Paris under Louis XIV, Faltz finally perfected his art in the new Prussian capital Berlin. The author evaluates the technical and artistic quality of the miniature reliefs and their significance for contemporary medal art. 150 wax models, casts, medallions and minting tools make this an essential work about Raimund Faltz. Zum 300. Todestag des Kunstlers wurde dieses Oeuvre zusammengetragen. Es befindet sich zum grossten Teil im Berliner Munzkabinett. Die Monographie widmet sich dem Medailleur und Wachsbossierer Raimund Faltz (1659-1703), der auf seinen Stationen in den barocken Residenzen Europas als Medailleur dreier Konige wirkte. Nach seiner Ausbildung in Stockholm im Umfeld der Residenz Karls XI. und kunstlerischer Reifung in Paris unter Ludwig XIV. brachte Faltz seine Kunst schliesslich in der jungen preussischen Metropole Berlin zur Vollendung. Hier schuf er bleibende Monumente in Gold und Silber auf das brandenburg-preussische Herrscherhaus und insbesondere auf Friedrich III./I., den letzten Kurfursten von Brandenburg und zugleich seit 1701 ersten Konig in Preussen. Der 300. Todestag des Kunstlers gab den Anlass zur umfassenden Erarbeitung seines OEuvres, das sich zum grossten Teil im Munzkabinett der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin befindet. Der Autor arbeitet die technische und kunstlerische Qualitat der Kleinreliefs fur die zeitgenossische Medaillenkunst im Portrat- und emblematischen Schaffen heraus und stellt sie in den Kontext des kunstlerischen Umfeldes in der brandenburg-preussischen Residenz. Mit rund 150 erfassten Wachsmodellen, Abgussen, Medaillen und Pragewerkzeugen liegt mit dem Band ein Grundlagenwerk zu Raimund Faltz vor.
