This three-volume set is the first in-depth study of paintings sold in German-speaking countries prior to 1800. Concentrating on sales during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it contains references to more than fifty thousand paintings that passed through the art market in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Central Europe. An introduction surveys the history of the art market in Germany beginning in the 1670s and is followed by a chronological listing of all extant catalogs prior to 1800, along with the institutions where these catalogs can be found. The circumstances surrounding each of these 269 sales are discussed, and when available, biographical information about the owner is included. For example, the fate of an important group of paintings owned by art dealer and merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky (1710-75) is cited in the comments on his 1764 sale due to financial difficulties.

Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805–1873) was the most renowned portraitist of European aristocracy of his day, expertly capturing the refinement and opulence of his distinguished sitters. Born and trained in Germany, Winterhalter settled in Paris in 1834, where he became the official court painter to King Louis-Philippe. He gained such international acclaim for his state portraits that he painted all but a few of the monarchs in Europe. In Paris in 1855, at the pinnacle of his career, he painted the noble portrait Empress Eugénie and her Ladies-in-Waiting, which would go on to symbolize an entire era. His 1865 portrait of the Austrian Empress “Sisi” is also known the world over. The lavishly illustrated publication complements Winterhalter’s magnificent portraits of crowned heads of state with selected items of clothing by the contemporary and sought-after couturier Charles Frederick Worth.
