專家說明

Comparable plaques can be found in cabinets crafted in Augsburg in the second half of the 17th century. For example in the collection of the Weimar Residenzschlosse and the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin (both illustrated in R. Both & G.-D. Ulferts, Möbel Urhen Relifintarsien, Berlin 2001, pp. 92-99).
The first Augsburg cabinet to incorporate Florentine pietra dura plaques is probably the Gustav-Adolf-Kunstschrank, which was executed between 1619 and 1626 and presented to the King in 1632. Hainhofer had acquired the plaques through his brother who lived in Florence, where the Grand Ducal workshops or Opificio delle pietre dure had been founded in 1588 by Grand Duke Ferdinando I de Medici (R. Baarsen, 'Een Augsburgs pronkkabinet', Bulletin van het Rijskmuseum 48(2000), pp. 7-9 and note 16).
