Item Texture Gallery

The Burgundian Court Goblet, Unknown, 1463/1467, From the collection of: Treasury, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien
I picked this piece for my overall theme because I believe it’s the perfect piece to set the topic for my gallery.
Coronation Gospels, Hans von Reutlingen (Cover), illuminations: ca. 800 - Cover: ca. 1500, From the collection of: Treasury, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien
This piece really spoke to me because while learning about the renaissance I all noticed the textures in the treasures and valuable items. I really enjoyed the ornate hand made treasures crafted by the churches.  
The Crown of Rudolf II, later Crown of the Austrian Empire, Jan Vermeyen, 1602, From the collection of: Treasury, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien
If you look closely at the crown you can see the gold plates are actually sculpted into the sides of it. Every jewel is set into the crown and still to this day the crown is in perfect condition. It amazes me how well this was crafted.
Baptismal Ewer and Basin, Unknown, 1571, From the collection of: Treasury, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien
Looking at the detail in the platter really tied it this piece into my gallery. The faces molded into this item was slightly creepy at first, but it out of anything shows how much craftsmanship when into this 513,000 dollar platter of gold.
The imperial orb, Andreas Osenbruck, 1612/1615, From the collection of: Treasury, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien
The reason I choose this piece was honestly because it reminded me of the holy hand grenade from the Monty Python movie. The reason it ties into my gallery is, once again, because the texture and pattern made from the jewels.
Ceremonial Rapier, Unknown, 1545/1555, From the collection of: Neue Burg, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien
  When you look at the pommel, hilt, and guard of the sword closely you can see all of the textures and colors of the elaborate pattern surrounding it entirely.
Milanese Armour, Giovanni B. Serabaglio, 1559, From the collection of: Neue Burg, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien
All round this black nights suit of armor there is an entire scene of events happening. If you look close there is really a story written in all of the textures of this armor.
Ivory Frigate, carried by Neptune, Jan Zeller, 1620, From the collection of: Green Vault, Dresden State Art Museums
At first I wasn’t going to include this piece into my gallery of textured items, until I zoomed in then noticed all of the script in between each of the boards making up the ship. I’ve been a collector of ship paintings and sculpture for along time. One day I wish to add this piece to my collection.
Rolling Ball Clock, Hans Schlottheim, ca. 1600, From the collection of: Green Vault, Dresden State Art Museums
This piece is so ornate, at first I didn’t even notice it was a clock. Once I zoomed in to appreciate this piece I realized it was a clock as well as in every single window of this building there is a unique face.
Galley with figures from classical mythology, Sarachi Wokshop, late 16th c., From the collection of: Green Vault, Dresden State Art Museums
I was admiring this piece and nearly didn’t include it in my gallery. That’s when I wondered what the clouded bottom was so I looked closely and realized it was actually an entire battle scene in the clouded crystal. 
Vessel, Georg Schreiber, around 1620, From the collection of: Green Vault, Dresden State Art Museums
I included this because the carving in the side of the lamp must have taken so long to carve considering its made of gold and some sort of hard red crystal. The mystery behind it also caught my eye. When looking at the description I realized there was none given so I looked it up on Google and could not find anything about it or the artist. The name is Vessel but what was it a vessel for? This item called “Vessel” could have been used for anything…
Resting Goat, Unknown, b. 1706, From the collection of: Green Vault, Dresden State Art Museums
I used this in my gallery because of the detailed scene painted in the side of the sculpture.
Astronomical clock, Eberhard Baldewein, 1563 - 1568, From the collection of: Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon, Dresden State Art Collections
I chose this to add because of the picture sculpted into the bottom of this golden clock.
Horizontal sundial, Christoph Schissler, 1562, From the collection of: Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon, Dresden State Art Collections
The texture in this sundial is very unique because this is a scientific  instrument that was used daily at one point in time.
Moon globe, Ernst Fischer, 1875, From the collection of: Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon, Dresden State Art Collections
This is my last and favorite piece of the gallery because im a huge fan of space. This is one of the best sculptures of the moon ive ever seen. The texture of it and color really makes this look realistic.
