Pálffys Sammlungs- und Inventarkataloge als Erkenntnisquellen für die künstlerische Ausstattung der Residenz Červený Kameň (Bibersburg) in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts

Abstract

The text evaluates the crucial sources of the Pálffy’s collections and their interior design at the Castle of Červený Kameň in the mid-18th century, when this oldest family residence was inhabited by members of both family branches. The older branch of the family (Rudolf I Pálffy) is represented by the preserved collections catalogues in six books; the younger line (Karl Paul Pálffy) is represented by several inventories of their rooms from 1742–1774.
