Scratched into stucco by the artist in 1876, the mural was later recast onto porcelain tiles and, incredibly, survived the 1945 bombing of Dresden that destroyed most buildings. « less

Take a look at the progression of weapons as well as the time line. You will take lots of pictures, but savor the length of this piece of art. More
