  • Friedrich Overbeck's 'Portrait'
    AUF DEN SPUREN DER NAZARENER: Re-reading Vittoria Caldoni: Friedrich Overbeck’s ‘Portrait’ in the Neue Pinakothek by Charles Davis One of the indubitable masterpieces of the somewhat uneven collection of paintings displayed in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich is Johann Friedrich Overbeck’s seemingly perfect Vittoria Caldoni. During a recent Sunday morning visit to the museum, undertaken with the intention of looking at the Nazarene paintings in the collection, the portrait of Vittoria Caldoni exercised its curious fascination, and, as pictures often do, it appeared increasingly puzzling upon prolonged inspection. Only much later did I come across Keith Andrews’s conclusion to his brief commentary upon this painting in his seminal book of 1964, The Nazarenes, a work instrumental in reviving a more widespread interest in these long-neglected and often disparaged painters. Of Overbeck’s Vittoria Caldoni, the author writes: “The frontal disposition draws the spectator into the picture and forces him, intentionally, to seek a meaning beyond mere portrait representation” (pp. 113-114). Nowhere does Andrews enlarge upon what this ‘meaning’ might be, but nevertheless his observation, if inadvertently, corresponds to the agendum of the present essay. Although a book published in 2011 by the Akademie Verlag in Berlin describes Andrews as a ‘Scottish scholar’ and a ‘non-German art historian’, it might be remembered that he was born as Kurt Aufrichtig in Hamburg on 11 October 1920. 2 Friedrich Overbeck, Vittoria Caldoni, 1821. Neue Pinakothek, München Overbeck’s Vittoria Caldoni is universally referred to as her portrait, but, paradoxically, in his representation the artist is at pains to attribute to the young girl from Albano whom he portrays a social rôle in the world of work which she, in reality, did not perform.

After the 2009 project “Haydn, the Progressive“ was followed in 2010 by “Haydn, the Progressive - e Next Ge- neration“, the suggestion was made to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Franz Liszt’s birth in the village of Raiding, forty kilometers south of Eisenstadt, and to highlight his music and encourage the broadcast of his works and his genius to posterity through 2011’s Erasmus Intensive Program.

  • CHRISTMAS MARKETS of GERMANY 26 November 2019 – 7 December 2019
    CHRISTMAS MARKETS OF GERMANY 26 November 2019 – 7 December 2019 Mike and I decided to take a trip to experience the dazzling Christmas Markets in Germany. We signed up with Gate 1 Travel for this trip. We arrived a few days early to get settled in and feel fresh for the tour. The escorted package included Christmas Markets and sites in Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Wurzburg, Nuremberg and Munich. When Mike and I arrived in Berlin since our hotel room was not ready yet we had a lot of time to visit Berlin on our own. We had a taxi take us to the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and information centre. The Memorial, located in the centre of Berlin one block south of the Brandenburg Gate, is Germany’s main Holocaust memorial. It dates back to a citizen’s initiative by publicist Lea Rosh and historian Eberhard Jackel in the late 1980s. On June 25th, 1999, the German Bundestage passed a resolution to start construction according to architect Peter Eisenman’s design. Construction started on April 1st, 2003, and the memorial was presented to the public on May 12th, 2005. The memorial consists of a 200,000 sq ft field of stelae with over 2,700 concrete blocks, and the information centre which lies below (under the field of stelae). The experience was quite moving. We continued to walk to Panorama Punkt located in Potsdamer Platz Arkaden with a terrace on the 25th floor for a 360 degree panoramic view of Berlin. We took the fastest elevator in Europe for fantastic views.
