Dresden at night
Friedrich August I. von Sachsen, häufig genannt August der Starke (* 12. Mai 1670 in Dresden; † 1. Februar 1733 in Warschau), war ein aus der albertinischen Linie des Fürstengeschlechts der Wettiner stammender Kurfürst von Sachsen (als Friedrich August I.) sowie ab 1697 König von Polen und Großfürst von Litauen (als August II.) in Personalunion.
Er gilt als eine der schillerndsten Figuren höfischer Prachtentfaltung des ausgehenden 17. und beginnenden 18. Jahrhunderts und begründete als Prototyp absolutistischer Selbstdarstellung durch seine rege Bautätigkeit und sehr ausgeprägte Sammelleidenschaft im Wesentlichen den Ruf Dresdens als prunkvolle barocke Metropole, der bis heute nachwirkt.

Augustus II the Strong (German: August II der Starke; Polish: August II Mocny; Lithuanian: Augustas II; 12 May 1670 – 1 February 1733) of the Albertine line of the House of Wettin was Elector of Saxony (as Frederick Augustus I), Imperial Vicar and became King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (as Augustus II).
Augustus' great physical strength earned him the nicknames "the Strong", "the Saxon Hercules" and "Iron-Hand." He liked to show that he lived up to his name by breaking horseshoes with his bare hands and engaging in fox tossing by holding the end of his sling with just one finger while two of the strongest men in his court held the other end.

Zukunft braucht die Vergegenwärtigung der Vergangenheit.
(Zitat von Stefan Rogal)
Der Zwinger in Dresden ist ein weltberühmtes Kunstwerk barocker Architektur. Verschiedene Bildhauer schufen unvergleichliche Skulpturen zur Verschönerung der Anlage, die heute eine der Hauptattraktionen der sächsischen Landeshauptstadt ist.
Das wohl am meisten fotografierte Motiv des Zwingers ist das Kronentor (ganz rechts). Das barocke Kunstwerk des Zwingers wird von Gottheiten der griechischen Mythologie charakterisiert. Die Innenräume des Zwingers beherbergen heute teils Museen, so die Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.
Hier habe ich 4 Fotos zusammengesetzt zu einem, sodass ein schöner 180 Grad-Blick entsteht.

Dresden's Zwinger Palace is famous around the world for its beautiful baroque architecture. The remarkable sculptures adorning the gallery walls are by various artists and help make this one of the main attractions in Saxony's regional capital.
The Crown Gate (right side), the most photographed part of the Zwinger, is decorated with gods from Greek mythology

Das Schloss Moritzburg liegt in der gleichnamigen Gemeinde Moritzburg nahe Dresden. Das auf ein Jagdhaus des 16. Jahrhunderts zurückgehende Jagdschloss erhielt seine heutige Gestalt im 18. Jahrhundert unter August dem Starken.
Das Schloss, dessen Hauptachse von Süd nach Nord verläuft, erhebt sich auf einer künstlichen Insel. Der barocke Vierflügelbau mit seinen vier direkt mit dem Hauptbau verbundenen Türmen ruht auf einem podestartigen Sockelgeschoss. Acht ehemalige Wachhäuschen sind auf der Insel rings um das Schloss gruppiert. Die harmonische Landschaftsintegration des Schlosses wird vervollständigt durch die sich nördlich anschließende Gartenanlage, das etwa zwei Kilometer östlich liegende und durch eine direkte Sichtachse verbundene Fasanenschlösschen mit kleiner Hafenanlage und dem Venusbrunnen, die Dardanellen sowie ein Hellhaus im Zentrum des Schneisensterns im nördlichen Friedewald.

The gold statue of Augustus the Strong in Dresden, Saxony, Germany, September 2015. He was Frederick Augustus I, Duke and Elector of Saxony 1694-1733, King Augustus II of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (also King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, Livonia, Prussia etc.) 1697-1706 and 1709-33. He had many mistresses and between 365 - 382 children, including one son with his wife, the Electress Kristiane. He must have had some stamina. One of his titles, not entirely appropriately, was Imperial Vicar of the Holy Roman Empire.

Today Chateau Eckberg is a hotel.
The name of the Zwinger Palace in Dresden derives from a German word for the outer ward of a concentric castle.
Augustus the Strong, elector of Saxony, returned to Dresden from a grand tour through France and Italy in 1687–89, determined to build himself a palace as spectacular as Louis XIV's new seat, Versailles. The fortifications of the Dresden fortress were no longer needed and provided space for his planned structure.
The court architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann created plans covering the space of the present complex of palace and garden, as well as gardens down to the Elbe River (upon which the Semperoper were built in the nineteenth century. Sculpture was provided by Balthasar Permoser.
Constructed in stages from 1710 to 1728, the Zwinger was formally inaugurated in 1719, on the occasion of the electoral prince Frederick August’s marriage to the daughter of the Habsburg emperor, the Archduchess Maria Josepha. The buildings, however, were not fully completed until 1728
The death of Augustus in 1733 put a halt to the construction because the funds were needed elsewhere. The palace area was left open on the side of the Semperoper square and the river. The plans were made less ambitious and the area was closed by the construction of the gallery wing now separating the Zwinger from the opera from 1847 to 1855; the architect was Gottfried Semper, who designed the opera.
The building was mostly destroyed by the bombing raids of February 1945 (but the art collection had been evacuated). After the war, in a referendum, the people of Dresden voted to rebuild and restore the building and other glories of the city, rather than allow the ruins to be razed to make way for the architecture of the socialist realism then prevalent in the German Democratic Republic.
The Zwinger's Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister became a star attraction in Dresden's rich cultural heritage; it now houses collections of fine art and scientific treasures and there is a collection of old masters, with paintings by Rubens, Canaletto, Raphael and many others. The Rüstkammer boasts a fine collection of weapons and armor, mostly dating from the 16th and 17th century. There is also a collection of Meissen porcelain, as well as the Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon.

Apollo Flaying Marsyas (A.6-1967) is one of two life-sized marble sculptures that were originally commissioned by the King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, Augustus the Strong from the Venetian sculptor Antonio Corradini (b.1668; d.1752) between 1723 and 1728 for the gardens of the Höllandisches Palais in Dresden.
[V&A website]
The Victoria & Albert Museum originated with the Great Exhibition of 1851; a collection was established to show applied art and science. The collection was initially shown at Marlborough House, followed by Somerset House (both in 1852). In 1855 plans began for a South Kensington site, with the new location opened in 1857. The development of the collection meant that eventually more development of the building was needed - in 1899, the foundation stone for the current site was laid (Victoria's last public engagement) and the site was formally named the Victoria and Albert Museum.
