The #BrandenburgGate, located on the west side of #PariserPlatz in #Berlin's Mitte district, is the only one of 18 #historic #citygates that still exists. It was built between 1789 and 1793 by order of the #Prussian #King #FrederickWilliamII in the early #classicism style, based on designs by Carl Gotthard Langhans. It was a symbolic border area with the #GDR. C. Münster (2023) presents a historical overview.

Amsterdam_XXX Apr 2

An almost perfect looking marble angel… 🪽

In 2018, the “Hermitage Amsterdam” hosted ‘Classic Beauties’, an exhibition on neoclassicism. Featuring over 60 works by 25 leading artists, it explored the influence of antiquity on 18th-century art. 😍

Until 2022 it hosted exhibitions featuring art from the “Hermitage” in Saint Petersburg but eventually, the ties with Russia were severed, due to the Russian aggression in Ukraine. By fall 2023, the museum was renamed to “H’ART Museum” ♥️ 🇺🇦 🕊️

#Plutarch #ParallelLives #Pericles 12/

For this reason are the works of Pericles all the more to be wondered at; they were created in a short time for all time.

Each one of them, in its beauty, was even then and at once antique; but in the freshness of its vigour it is, even to the present day, recent and newly wrought.

Such is the bloom of perpetual newness, as it were, upon these works of his, which makes them ever to look untouched by time, as though the unfaltering breath of an ageless spirit has been infused into them.

"Vale (Farewell)," Arthur Hacker, 1913.

British painter Hacker (1858-1919) painted this toward the end of his career; was he sensing it was time to retire? Or, as some maintain, was he sensing the coming of the Great War?

There's not a lot of biographical info about him, other than he was the son of an engraver and was very much a classicist. He was known primarily for religious paintings and portraits. He was quite a success for his time, although now regard for his work has fallen. This canvas, though, has quite an impact, and he may warrant a closer look.

From a private collection.

"Landscape with a Calm," Nicolas Poussin, 1650-51.

Poussin (1594-1665) painted this as a companion piece to another painting, "Landscape with a Storm," which explains a few things. He was one of the great figures of the classical French Baroque period, and was known for his historical, religious, and mythical-themed works, which all had narratives and sent messages.

This painting comes from a time when he moved to doing landscapes without any story or message. Poussin did most of his work in Rome, and often took sketching trips up and down Italy to get ideas for his work. This may have been born from one or more of those sketches.

From the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
