The Residence (Residenz), was the former palace of the bishops Wa rzburg. Initiated in 1720 by initiative of the Prince-Bishop Friedrich Carl von Sch nborn, was completed in 1780, this building was intended to replace the old fortress of Marienberg. The building is definitely a collaborative effort between many popular artists at that time. The landscapes work was conducted primarily by the architect Balthasar Neumann. The painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo particular drawings has left its mark inside the palace, including the monumental frescoes. Although the medieval art, especially in Italy, does not mean a radical break with classical art (which in fact had already been undermined in its classicism with Hellenism, and much more to art late), the watercolor Renaissance had come to define themselves as a resurrection of the Ancient Age, understood as a model to imitate. The historical division of the ages-Old, Middle and Modern, which has frequently been accused Eurocentres value is essentially to define the painters West as that concept from the sixteenth century, since it originates at the time, and for ancient cultures in which the intellectuals of Western Europe in the Modern Age sought to find its origin .
The presence in Italy, especially in the city of Rome, remains visible, and the continuous discovery of buried remains were taken into account, and allowed the gradual definition of the antique trade (collector, scholar, and while plundering oil painting and destructive) while creating the foundations of archaeological science.

The nineteenth century provides for the development of large-scale looting while developing scientific Egyptology (Napoleonica illustration expedition to Egypt and subsequent investigations of Champollion, including the use of the Rosetta Stone, for the decoding of hieroglyphics). In a similar way was called Palestine in biblical archeology (1865 Palestine abstract Exploration Fund, Charles Warren, 1870 American Palestine Exploration Society, 1889 Ecole Biblique et arch ologique Francaise), at Troy and Mycenae gallery with Heinrich Schliemann (since 1870) and Mesopotamia sculpture to the excavation of Babylon by the Deutsche Orientgesellchaft (1898, Robert Koldewey) .
