As a result, art came to serve as a tool for manifesting social hierarchies and for political propaganda. The stages on which these political rituals were played out were usually the town squares or the lavish residences of the aristocracy and the spacious areas they contained: the gardens, the courtyards, and the ceremonial apartments. The turning point of 1683, when the Turkish threat was pushed away from Vienna, and the resulting architectural boom in the city have become legendary. However, many aristocratic residences 1 M.

Its closest contemporary analogue are the Baroque interiors of certain English aristocratic residences (e.g. the Great Hall in Castle Howard). While such comparisons frequently fuel arguments on English influences in Fischer’s work, it seems more likely that Fischer surprisingly continued to adhere to the ‘non-modern’ interior style he acquired in Schor’s workshop up until the end of his life.15 In addition to his Italian background and English connections, Fischer’s works betray traces of Western European architectural influences. In particular, some of the architect’s extant sketches show signs of a Dutch influence.16 Fischer’s interiors for the aforementioned Clam- Gallas Palace are surprisingly similar to the interior designs of Tylman ‘LOOKING FOR AN ARTIST.

CLGE – CLGE has a name in two of the many European languages English and French, namely “The Council of European Geodetic Surveyors” and “Comit´ede Liaison des G´eom`etres Europ´eens”. A “Multilateral Agreement” on mutual recognition of qualification in surveying was signed in 2005 in Brussels by representatives of Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

Martinelli was not a mere surveyor, but also a diplomat, judge, valuer, professor and architect. By the way his multidisciplinarity is typical even for present Italian surveyors. Martinelli´s relations to Czechia are represented namely through his diplomatic services for count Kounic, during his diplomatic mission in as emperor’s ambassador in the Dutch Hague in 1698.

  • What Is the Enlightenment? 200 Years of the Print Room in the Library of the University of Warsaw
    What is the Enlightenment? 200 years of the Print Room in the Library of the University of Warsaw The Print Room of the Library of the University of Warsaw (BUW) was established in 1818, and it contains the oldest public collection of prints and drawings in Poland. Until 1939, it was also the biggest collection of its kind. Despite the heavy losses suffered during the Second World War, the Print Room has maintained its unique position in the history of Polish collections due to the artistic and historical importance of its artworks. The origins of the BUW collection go back to King Stanisław August’s own Print Room, which was purchased from the king’s heirs in 1818 on the initiative of Stanisław Kostka Potocki, minister of the Government Committee for Religious Denominations and Public Education, who also donated a generous portion of his own collection. The drawings, prints, architectural designs, and volumes were entrusted to the Public Library, which had been created a year earlier in 1817, and operated at the Royal University of Warsaw (the Public Library later became the Library of the University of Warsaw). The traditional name of the king’s collection—the Print Room—was now assigned to the department that holds all of the library’s artworks. The Print Room became an important artistic, educational, and academic centre for the university as well as the city of Warsaw. It was able to keep expanding its collection thanks to purchases, donations, and the ‘legal deposit policy’. After the failure of the November Uprising (1831), the collection was confiscated and moved to Saint Petersburg where it was taken over by the Imperial Fine Arts Academy.

They witnessed the country’s complicated past and its many transformations. fter countless wars, partitions and other political and social turbulences, Athe preserved and restored castles and palaces are now part of Poland’s histori- cal heritage. Despite the wartime destruction, priceless monuments of the past remained untouched in many places. Others were restored or reconstructed with such meticulous care that they became works of art no less important than the original structures. By far, the boldest such undertaking was the reconstruction of the Royal Castle in Warsaw. Whether preserved or restored, castles and palaces are full of life these days. They are homes to museums and/or education centres. They are venues for cultural events or out-of- doors Sound and Light events. They function as luxury hotels with spa facilities, while res- taurants in castles and palaces take diners on journeys to the times of hunters’ parties and opulent feasts of the Polish nobility of olden days. ▶ ▶ Many layers of history are still waiting to be discovered. They are hidden either in Medieval strongholds made of earth, stones and wood, or in ruined, but still impressive, fortifications, or in castles of the Teutonic Knights, or in castles rearranged by aristocrats to become family residences, each more opulent than the last.

PREFACE is commonly supposed that the purpose of a preface is to IT explain the scope of a book to those who do not read so far as the first page. There is a touch of cynicism in such an opinion which makes one loth to accept it, but I prefer to meet my troubles half way by stating at the outset what I have emphasized in my last chapter—that this book is not in any way an attempt to create a wholesale revival of Baroque Architecture in England. It is simply a history of a complex and neglected period, and has been prepared in the uncertain intervals of an architectural practice. The difficulty of the work has been increased by the fact that the subject has never been dealt with as a whole in any language previously. Gurlitt in his Geschichte des Barockstiles, published in 1887, covered a considerable part of the ground, but his work is very scarce and expensive. To students his volumes may be recommended for their numerous plans, but for details and general views they are less valuable. In recent years several fine mono- graphs have appeared dealing with Baroque buildings in specific districts, and very recently in a new international series the principal buildings of the period in Germany and Italy have been illustrated.

  • Background FELLOWSHIP REPORT
    FELLOWSHIP REPORT Summary of work activities Iulia Adelina Turiac Intervention Epidemiology path (EPIET) Cohort 2015 Background The ECDC Fellowship Training Programme includes two distinct curricular pathways: Intervention Epidemiology Training (EPIET) and Public Health Microbiology Training (EUPHEM). After the two-year training EPIET and EUPHEM graduates are considered experts in applying epidemiological or microbiological methods to provide evidence to guide public health interventions for communicable disease prevention and control. Both curriculum paths are part of the ECDC fellowship programme that provides competency based training and practical experience using the ‘learning by doing’ approach in acknowledged training sites across the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) Member States. Intervention Epidemiology path (EPIET) Field epidemiology aims to apply epidemiologic methods in day to day public health field conditions in order to generate new knowledge and scientific evidence for public health decision making. The context is often complex and difficult to control, which challenges study design and interpretation of study results. However, often in Public Health we lack the opportunity to perform controlled trials and we are faced with the need to design observational studies as best as we can. Field epidemiologists use epidemiology as a tool to design, evaluate or improve interventions to protect the health of a population. The European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training (EPIET) was created in 1995. Its purpose is to create a network of highly trained field epidemiologists in the European Union, thereby strengthening the public health epidemiology workforce at Member State and EU/EEA level. Current EPIET alumni are providing expertise in response activities and strengthening capacity for communicable disease surveillance and control inside and beyond the EU.

Powstańców Warszawy 12, 35-959 Rzeszów, Poland, Abstract. The Lubomirski Summer Palace is one of the most valuable not sacred monuments of Rzeszow architecture. It was erected in the late baroque style at the end of the 17th century by Hieronim Augustyn Lubomirski as part of a large garden complex around the castle. Times of his glory fall in the mid-18th century. At that time, palace with the surrounding park was extended by Jerzy Ignacy Lubomirski and became a residence willingly visited for recreational purposes. The last private owners of the Palace were Nieć family who sold it to the Regional Medical Chamber in Rzeszów. Since 2014, the palace and its surroundings have been renovated for the seat of the Chamber. The subject of this article is a detailed presentation of the scope and method of the palace interior renovation. This renovation was carried out between 2014 and 2016 on the basis of previously prepared architectural building documentation and detailed renovation technology developed by the author of the article (adapted to the technical condition of the object). The article describes in detail the technical condition of the building before renovation, the scope of renovation works, problems encountered and the final effect - restored interiors of the building with few historic details of their décor. 1 Historycal view The Lubomirski Summer Palace is one of the most valuable not sacred monuments of Rzeszow architecture.

    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1033.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Historic Centre of Vienna DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 16th December 2001 STATE PARTY: AUSTRIA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 25th Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the Historic Centre of Vienna on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi): Criterion (ii): The urban and architectural qualities of the Historic Centre of Vienna bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.

  • N Artikel Juliette Roding [Artikel]
    Juliette Roding DUTCH ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS IN DANZIG AND THE SOUTHERN BALTIC IN THE 16TH AND 17TH CENTURIES Large numbers of Dutch architects and engineers worked in Scandinavia and the Baltic area during the 16th and 17th centuries. A spot check on the basis of the best-known literature on architecture and urban development will easily give sixty names, and we can assume that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Danish and Swedish kings commissioned much work, but equally as important was the city of Danzig. In 1583 about 2200 ships called in at Danzig to pick up grain, and most of these ships were from the Netherlands. On the way out these ships usually carried herring, salt and cloth, but as cargo this was not weighty enough and they initially carried sand as ballast. This was thrown overboard just before docking at Danzig. This dumping, however, caused problems, and was later forbidden. Carry- ing saleable materials instead of sand was of course much more profitable and the Dutch ships soon started to carry building materials such as bricks, roofing-, floor- and Delft tiles, for which there was a great demand in the Baltic towns. In the early part of the 17th century Danzig was a very international town, with many Dutchmen, Germans, Danes, Swedes and Italians, whose job it often was to run some company's Danzig branch. A large group of Mennonites, who had been persecuted because of their faith, had already established themselves in and around Danzig some time before. There was obviously a need for skilled craftsmen in this rapidly expanding area, and Dutch architects and engineers did not let this need go unnoticed.

He founded the Ber- nardine Monastery and Church of St. Anthony of Padua in the village of Czerniaków near Warsaw, as well as the Łazienki palace and park. The Bernardine Church served as a mauso- leum for the Lubomirski family. It was designed by Tylman van Gameren (1632-1706) and its construction was supervised by Isidoro Affaitati the Younger (1659-1708). The frescoes on the dome were painted by Francesco Antonio Giorgioli (1655-1725). They were inspired by the three-dimensional paintings from the Il Gesù church in Rome. Wall paintings are a result of collaboration between Giacomo Francisco Cippera known as Todeschni (1664-1736) and Giovanni Battista Colomba (1638-1693), who also painted a series of eight pictures illustrat- ing scenes from the life of St. Anthony. The main altar, too, was designed by Tylman, though it was made by the sculptor Andreas Schlüter (1659-1714) from Gdańsk. 17th century re- mains in Łazienki also have their unknown masters. There are two surviving sculptures in the Vestibule: Reposing Mars (a non-literal copy of the Ludovisi Ares) and Flourishing Poland (the name coined only by King Stanisław August Poniatowski; in Lubomirski’s time the sculpture was a personification of theGlorious Age).
