The Procession of Princes (Fürstenzug) in Dresden (Germany) is a larger-than-life image of a cavalcade of riders, applied to some 23,000 tiles of Meissen porcelain. The 102-meter-long work of art, considered the largest porcelain mural in the world, depicts the ancestral gallery of the 34 margraves, dukes, electors and kings from the dynasty of the Wettin dynasty who ruled Saxony between 1127 and 1873. However, if one adds Prince George riding at the end of the procession, who was later also king, then the total number of Wettin rulers to be seen in the equestrian procession is 35
