  • Vienna Guide
    April 22—24, 2015, Vienna, Austria Hotel Park Royal Palace Vienna Guide SIGHTSEEING Vienna is old, Vienna is new… and the sights are so varied: from the magnificent Baroque buildings to “golden” Art Nouveau to the latest architecture. And over 100 museums beckon… ALBERTINA The Albertina has the largest and most valuable graphical collection in the world, including works such as Dürer’s “Hare” and Klimt‘s studies of women. Its latest exhibition presents masterpieces of the Modern era, spanning from Monet to Picasso and Baselitz. As the largest Hapsburg residential palace, the Albertina dominates the southern tip of the Imperial Palace on one of the last remaining fortress walls in Vienna. ANKER CLOCK This clock (built 1911–14) was created by the painter and sculptor Franz von Matsch and is a typical Art Nouveau design. It forms a bridge between the two parts of the Anker Insurance Company building. In the course of 12 hours, 12 historical figures (or pairs of figures) move across the bridge. Every day at noon, the figures parade, each accompanied by music from its era. AUGARTEN PORCELAIN MANUFacTORY Founded in 1718, the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory is the second-oldest in Europe. Now as then, porcelain continues to be made and painted by hand. Each piece is thus unique. A tour of the manufactory in the former imperial pleasure palace at Augarten gives visitors an idea of how much love for detail goes into the making of each individual piece. The designs of Augarten have been created in cooperation with notable artists since the manufactory was established.

  • EXHIBITION: the Temptations of James Ensor Works from 1888 to 1940
    EXHIBITION: The temptations of James Ensor Works from 1888 to 1940 Samuel Vanhoegaerden Gallery is pleased to show at Brafa 2020 an extraordinary collection of works by James Ensor gathered for the first time James Ensor, Ballerines muées en marguerites, huile sur toile, 1936 James ENSOR, genius and founder of modern art James Ensor is one of Belgium's most important artists, belonging in the same list as Van Eyck, Rubens, Bruegel and Magritte. His works are of great rarity (he painted only around 850 works) and a large portion of them have already found a place in the world's largest museums. Ensor's importance cannot be overestimated. His name appears in all works on modern art and he was groundbreaking in his manner of painting. James Ensor paved the way for the emergence of Expressionism, Dada ism and Surrealism, among others, and even today, artists like Pierre Alechinsky and Luc Tuymans are indebted to his work. Over the years, the art market has increasingly realized just how decisive Ensor was for art history, and he is increasingly appreciated internationally. Already during his lifetime, and to this day, exhibitions of his works continue to be held in the worl d's most important museums (the latest including the MOMA, the Getty Museum and the Musée d'Orsay) and research into his work continues to expand. The market for his paintings and drawings is slowly drying up as these works find their way to museum collections, and with the few available paintings remaining family-owned. James Ensor's work is timeless and continues to amaze and delight every generation.

  • Programmfolder Hofburg Innsbruck
    The Imperial Palace Vienna at a Glance Imperial Palace Vienna Since its creation in the 13th century, the Imperial Palace Vienna has been subject to constant modification. As a consequence, it has be- come a reflection of the many cultural, political, social, and economic developments throughout Austria’s history. Today, the Swiss Yard (Schweizerhof) represents the oldest part of the building complex. It dates back to the time of Emperor Frederick II of the House of Hohenstaufen. Over the centuries, the rectangular palace of the Late Medieval Period was reconstructed, adapted, expanded, and connected to its adjacent buildings until it eventually became the building complex that, today, constitutes the Imperial Palace Vienna. Dreaming of an Imperial Forum, Emperor Franz Joseph I initiated the last large extension in the second half of the 19th century. Ho- wever, his dream never fully came true. Only Maria-Theresien-Squa- re (Maria- Theresien-Platz) with its two world-famous museums, the youngest wing of the Imperial Palace Vienna – New Castle (Neue Burg) – and St. Michael‘s Gate (Michaelertor) with its sumptuous cupola were to be completed. In its present form the Imperial Palace Vienna, which is situated in the heart of the city, covers an area of more than 300,000 m2 and fulfils a wide array of roles. Hofburg Info Center The recently created Hofburg Info Center nestles between the youngest wing of the Imperial Palace Vienna – New Castle (Neue Burg) – Weltmuseum Wien and the Austrian National Library. Its aim is to provide visitors with all the information they need about the institutions located in the area as well as its history.

Rosso Fiorentino Drawings, Prints and Decorative Arts consists of 117 objects, including 28 drawings by Rosso, 80 prints after his compositions, majolica and enamel platters, and tapestries made from his designs. On view through Jan. 3, 1988, the exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. Giovanni Battista di Jacopo (1494-1540), best known as Rosso Fiorentino, worked in Florence from 1513 until 1524, when he went to Rome. He left the city during the infamous Sack of Rome in 1527, wandering about Italy until 1530, when he went to France to work for King Francis I at Fontainebleau. Rosso began his career with a style modeled on the art of the Florentine Renaissance, but he is now seen as one of the founders of the anticlassical style called Mannerism. An intense and eccentric individual, Rosso was internationally famous in the 16th century while today he is most readily recognized for his work at Fontainebleau and for the great impact of his Italian style on French art.

  • Historic Centre of Vienna
    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.

Moreover, the world-famous drawings of this prematurely deceased master (1483–1520) make him one of art history’s great draftsmen. The Albertina Museum is now paying tribute to Raphael with a major exhibition of 150 paintings and drawings. Starting from the Albertina Museum’s own significant holdings and rounded out by the most beautiful and important drawings from prominent museums such as the Uffizi, the Royal Collection of the British Royal Family, the British Museum, the Louvre, the Vatican Museums, and the Ashmolean Museum, this monographic presentation places Raphael’s thinking and conceptual process front and center: featured works range from initial spontaneous artist’s impressions to virtuosic detail studies, compositional studies, and the completed paintings themselves.
