Baroque Dresden

Dresden Baroque is the specific form of the Baroque and Rococo styles that emerged from 1696 to 1763 under Augustus the Strong and his son Frederick Augustus II, who ruled as Electors of Saxony and Kings of Poland. Alongside French influences, Italian models in particular influenced the architectural style of the royal seat of Dresden, which spread throughout Saxony and as far as the Polish royal seat of Warsaw. It is also known as Saxon Baroque or Augustan Baroque.
