The Princely Collections
Jewels of art history
The Princely Collections contain major works of
European art spanning five centuries and are among the most important
private collections in the world. Dating back to the seventeenth
century, they are rooted in the Baroque ideal of princely patronage of
the arts. For generations, the House of Liechtenstein has consistently
nurtured this ideal, systematically adding to the collection’s holdings
in keeping with an active acquisitions policy which continues to this
day.
Today the Princely Collections contain some 1'700
paintings with masterpieces from the early Renaissance to the Austrian
Romantic era, including works by Lucas Cranach the Elder, Raphael, Peter
Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, Rembrandt and Friedrich von Amerling.
