Yesterday I visited the Bruno Kreisky Forum (for the very first time I have to admit). And I was fascinated. What an atmosphere: One can feel and smell the many thoughts and visions and discussions that have happened here. And there is a special tree in Kreisky’s garden: a cedar that was planted by an Italian countess who lived here at the time of the Vienna Congress. She was homesick and hence planted the tree in the garden. It is more than 200 years old now - huge and wonderful as can be. I visited the @kreiskyforum on occasion of a panel discussion that was done together with the @weltmuseumwien 👌 More about that soon… Today’s post for @kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna by #kunstfueruns 👉 Pieter Bruegel the Elder died #onthisday 450 years ago. In his compositions, Bruegel has preserved for us his view of the society in which he lived. He courageously visualized various facets of both the life of his contemporaries and of modern society: many of the central themes in his work remain highly relevant today. And Pieter Bruegel the Elder founded a dynasty of painters: He was married to Mayken Coecke van Alst. Two of their sons also became painters: Pieter Brueghel the Younger (1564-1638) and Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568-1625). Further, some of their grandsons became painters. The different spellings of their name - ’Bruegel’ and ’Brueghel’, and sometimes even ’Breugel’ and ’Breughel’ – are somewhat confusing. In fact, they are all members of the same family and share a surname, although its spelling is not uniform. 👉One of our Highlight Stories contains a short genealogy: if you haven’t seen it yet, do have a look now! ✨ Detail of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, The Tower of Babel, 1563. #kunsthistorischesmuseum #vienna #bruegel #pieterbruegel Today’s post for @kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna by #kunstfueruns 👉 PREMIERE ✨ We already shared first insights into our upcoming exhibition ‘Caravaggio & Bernini’. Today, we have a very special announcement. 😃 A masterpiece by Artemisia Gentileschi will be on view to the public in a museum for the very first time: ‘Maria Magdalena’. It came to light in 2011. Until that moment, only a photography from the 1920ies had proven its existence. We are more than thrilled to welcome this painting soon here at #kunsthistorischesmuseum #vienna to be on view within ‘Caravaggio & Bernini’ ✨ Born in Rome in 1593, Artemisia was trained by her father Orazio Gentileschi, a distinguished follower of Caravaggio. She was an outstanding female artist, but many of her paintings have later been attributed to male artists. In recent years, the number of paintings attributed to Gentileschi has risen considerably. For the exhibition ‘Caravaggio & Bernini’ this loan from a private collector is especially valuable because it represents one of the female #barockstars 🙌 Artemisia Gentileschi (Rome 1593 – c. 1654 Naples), Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy, Rome or Venice, 1620–25 or 1630–35, Canvas, 81 × 105 cm, Private European collection, © Photo: Dominique Provost Today’s post for @kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna by #kunstfueruns 👉 More about our #barockstars 🤗 When he was still a child, Gian Lorenzo Bernini had come to Rome together with his father, in the year 1606. Pietro Bernini, sculptor himself, had come to build the Cappella Paolina for Pope Paul V. Borghese. Gian Lorenzo was later commissioned by Pope Urban VIII for the new interior of St Peter’s Basilica. Urban VIII was Bernini’s most important patronizer and regarded him as the ‘new Michelangelo’. ✨ One of the magnificent sculptures Bernini created is ‘The Ecstasy of St Teresa’ - for the Cornaro Chapel of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome. ✨ Bernini brought the moment of Teresa’s inner vision to life in an extraordinary way. He orchestrated this moment like a theatre setting. Did you already have the chance to see this masterpiece in Rome? We are very happy to soon welcome the terracotta figurine, that Bernini had done as ‘sketch’ for the sculpture. It will join us from the @hermitage_museum for the exhibition ‘Caravaggio & Bernini’ 😍 Gian Lorenzo Bernini (Naples 1598 – 1680 Rome), The Ecstasy of St Teresa (1515–1582), Rome, 1647 Terracotta, h. 47 cm, St Petersburg, The State Hermitage Museum © St Petersburg, The State Hermitage Museum #kunsthistorischesmuseum #vienna Today’s post for @akademiegalerievienna by #kunstfueruns 👉 It’s #WorldDogDay 🐶 Wishing all dogs a good day and a good, jolly nap! 😍 Johann Nepomuk Hoechle (1790–1835), Sleeping Dog. #kupferstichkabinett #akademiegalerie #vienna #internationaldogday #dogsofinstagram #dog #dogs
