Today’s post for @theatermuseumvienna by #kunstfueruns 👉 Alexander Moissi was #bornonthisday – on 2 April 1880 in Triest. 🎉 The famous actor had an Albanian father from Durrës and an Arbëreshë (Italo-Albanian) mother from Triest. Alexander Moissi spent his childhood in Durrës, Triest and Graz. In 1898 he came to Vienna to start vocal studies. He also applied as an actor, but due to his Italian accent had to play non-speaking roles. The Austrian actor Josef Kainz discovered Moissi’s talent and supported him. His first engagement was at the Deutsches Theater in Prague, followed by Berlin, where Max Reinhardt as well saw the big talent and continued to support and cast Moissi despite negative critics. Within the next 15 years Alexander Moissi became one of the most famous and successful actors in the German-speaking area. In 1920 he played the first „Jedermann“ at the @salzburgerfestspiele. Moissi is well-known for his skillful embodiment of desperate and emotionally disrupted characters. One of these roles, seen in the photo we are sharing today, was „Hamlet“ (1926, @volkstheaterwien). Alexander Moissi would also have been handed over the Iffland ring. Yet, he died before Albert Bassermann, at the age of only 54. Alexander Moissi died from pneumonia on 22 March 1935 in Vienna. So, Bassermann left the ring on Moissi’s coffin and then handed it over to the ministry of education. ✨ Stay tuned during the next days for more treasures in our collection, connected to Alexander Moissi.

We love how the camera seems to play with proximity and distance particularly in this scene. Tomorrow, we will be back with moments from Dessau, on the occasion of a special anniversary… Stay tuned!

Reason enough to focus on depictions of Saint Sebastian these days. ✨ According to legend, the emperor Diocletian recruited Sebastian in 303 AD to be an officer in the imperial bodyguard. Yet, Sebastian continued to defend his Christian faith. The Legenda Aurea (1265/66; Golden Legend) also tells about the impressive healing of Cromatius: After Sebastian and a Christian priest had baptized him, the severely ill prefect was miraculously healed. To further support this new faith, Sebastian destroyed hundreds of idols in Cromatius’s house. When Diocletian heard of it, he ordered the execution of Sebastian, who miraculously survived the arrows that should kill him. ✨ This is the moment that is usually depicted in art history: Sebastian, hit by many arrows, yet alive. But this is not how the legend ends: As arrows could not kill Sebastian, Diocletian ordered that Sebastian shall be beaten to death with clubs. 😢 Stay tuned tomorrow for another depiction of Saint Sebastian… Jan de Beer, The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, c. 1510/1515, #kunsthistorischesmuseum #vienna Today’s post for @theatermuseumvienna by #kunstfueruns 👉 Together with our friends and colleagues from other museums we are focusing on the topic ‚Proximity and Distance’ today, using the hashtag #AtMuseumsAnywhere ✨ On this occasion, we are sharing a stage design by Alfred Roller, whose extensive legacy is one of the highlights of the collection of #Theatermuseum. Alfred Roller (2 October 1864 – 21 June 1935) was an Austrian painter, graphic designer, and set designer. ✨ Currently, we cannot go to theatres. But to have a close look at the precious stage designs in our online collection might still enable to take us on a journey to faraway places… This stage was designed by Roller for Wagner’s „Der fliegende Holländer“, 3rd act: Today‘s post for @akademiegalerievienna by #kunstfueruns 👉 Today, many museums are sharing objects from their collections, focusing on the topic ‚Proximity and Distance’ - by using the hashtag #AtMuseumsAnywhere 👉 So, let’s enjoy a view on Rio de Janeiro by Thomas Ender - with detailed figures in the foreground and a fantastic panorama in the back… 😍 In 1817 Ender travelled to Brazil on occasion of the marriage of archduchess Leopoldine with Dom Pedro, later emperor of Brasil. Thomas Ender did approximately 700 drawings during the expedition. This painting was also done after one of the drawings. 👉 If you scroll through our highlights stories, you will find a story that takes you to a journey with Thomas Ender’s drawings - don’t miss it!
