The St. Andrew Knot

🪞 Not everything is old that looks old: Did you know that the famous Cabinet of Mirrors of Würzburg's Residence, originally crafted between 1740 and 1745 during the time of Prince-Bishop Carl von Schönborn, as we know it today is only about 40 years old? ✨ Nestled in the heart of the former seat of power of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg and later residence of the Kings of Bavaria, the Cabinet of Mirrors was once the crown jewel of the palace’s interior decorations. Sadly the original Cabinet - which showcased a unique technique of reverse glass painting - was lost during the aerial bombings of World War II. 🏗️ However, thanks to the preservation of a mirror fragment, a number of photographs and a watercolour of the room painted in the 1870's, craftsmen and restorers meticulously reconstructed the room between 1979 and 1987 - it is thanks to their incredible skill that we can once again experience this one of a kind Cabinet of Mirrors. | by castleholic

Never have I ever seen such magnificent gardens, with its glorious Fountain of Neptune, the folly that is the Fontana del Bacchino, and The Isolotto. I can’t wait to visit in the autumn and experience what the change in season brings to this historical garden. ____________________________________________ #florence #italy #firenze #boboligardens #giardinodiboboli #giardino #palazzopitti #pittipalace #grotto #bernardobuontalenti #gardens #italiangarden #renaissance #renaissancegarden #art #artwork #sculpture #sculptureart #architecture #gardenarchitecture #palace #gardendesign #gardendecor #historical #historicplaces #giorgiovasari #bernardobuontalenti #niccolotribolo #bartolomeoammannati #medici #statues (at Giardino di Boboli) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc5yeE2oXDr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
