Goethe’s illness metaphor and Schiller’s chronic illness

In my conversation with my daughter about Germanophone literary history last night, I recalled a remark by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) in an 1829 conversation with Johann Peter Eckermann (1792-1854): "Das Klassische nenne ich das Gesunde und das Romantische das Kranke" ("For me, the classic is healthy and the

The Crown Tribunal, Lublin, Poland

The Crown Tribunal in Lublin was the highest court of appeal for the nobility of Lesser Poland in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was established in 1578 at the General Sejm in Warsaw, when King Stefan Batory relinquished his powers as the highest judge in favour of the noble court. From that moment on, the Crown Tribunal became the highest court for matters of land law concerning the nobility.

The building of the Crown Tribunal in Lublin was originally a Gothic town hall on the Old Town Square, built in the 14th century. After a fire in 1389, it was rebuilt and gradually remodelled, acquiring a Renaissance appearance in the 16th century and later a classicist shape in the 18th century during the reconstruction carried out by Dominik Merlini.

The Crown Tribunal functioned in Lublin from 1579 to 1794, being the centre of judicial and political life of the nobility of Lesser Poland and Ruthenia, and having a significant impact on the character of the city during that period.

Currently, the former Crown Tribunal building serves various administrative and cultural functions, including housing the Registry Office and hosting concerts and meetings.

In 1948, François Le Lionnais (1901–84) published an essay in which he distinguished two types of beauty in mathematics:

• ‘Classical’ mathematical beauty, which impressed by its control and austerity.

• ‘Romantic’ mathematical beauty, which manifested in wildness, non-conformity, and strangeness.

Classical beauty was found where there was unification, such as in the 9-point circle of a triangle (see 1st attached image), or how the circle, ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola all arise from the focus–directrix construction (see 2nd attached image) and from conic sections, and can transformed into one another by projective transformations.

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.

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” ♥️ 🇺🇦 🕊️
