EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the extravagant confection prepared for the grand celebrations held in Dresden during May 1738. The occasion was none other than the wedding of Carlo VII, King of Naples and the Two Sicilies, to Maria Amelia or Maria Amalia, Princess of Saxony. The table itself is a remarkable work of art designed in the shape of a letter A, symbolizing Maria Amelia's beauty often compared to that of Aurora. The attention to detail in this masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. One cannot help but marvel at the sugar sculpture adorning the table, representing none other than Mount Vesuvius. This intricate decoration adds an element of grandeur and elegance to an already stunning display. Christian Philipp Lindemann skillfully captured this momentous event through his etching in 1738. His expertise shines through as he brings every aspect of this celebration to life on paper. As we delve into history through this image from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a time when opulence and extravagance were paramount during royal weddings. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, love and union were celebrated with great pomp and splendor.
