The name Johann Joachim Kaendler (1706--1775) is closely entwined in the 18th century with the golden age of the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory.

In doing so, he did not limit himself to official events but reflected tastes and aspirations as well as current trends. In the publication Magnificence of Rococo impressive porcelain figurines from top-class European private collections are brought together for the first time: on over 300 pages, these magnificent, often unique objects provide insights into courtly life of the Baroque and Rococo periods.
