LIECHTENSTEIN MUSEUM Wien

SCHÖNBORN-BUCHHEIM COLLECTION

The name of Schönborn is indelibly associated with a high period in European art history: between 1693 and 1746 the Schönborns, as princes and bishops in the Mainfranken and Mittelrhein regions were part of a period when construction was carried out at the highest aesthetic level. At the same time, Lothar Franz von Schönborn, Elector and Arch-Chancellor and four of his nephews, whom he was able to set up as regents in the bishoprics of Bamberg, Würzburg, Trier and Speyer-Worms, displayed themselves and their noble status in wide-ranging art collections which, in some cases, have been preserved as complete entitities.
