Great Minds Think Alike
This sentiment couldn’t be truer for Sydney’s International Art Series. With the likes of El Greco, Leonardo, Raphael, Monet (and many more!) being featured in The Greats: masterpieces from the National Galleries of Scotland, we can’t even imagine the kind of strings that the Art Gallery of New South Wales had to pull to get the National Galleries of Scotland to share their treasures. Over 400 years of artistic production under one roof, but who’s intimidated? According to the NSW’s official website, the collection will comprise of “over 70 outstanding works, all but two will be seen in Australia for the first time, including Botticelli’s exceptional The Virgin adoring the sleeping…

Süße Träume
Träume suchen uns heim, sie verfolgen uns, machen uns Angst, beflügeln und inspirieren uns. In Träumen sind wir nicht nur mit uns selbst, sondern auch mit unterschiedlichsten Phänomenen konfrontiert, wie etwa dem falschen Erwachen oder Klarträumen, in denen der Träumende die Inhalte seines Traumes selbst kontrollieren kann.

This evolution in personal style and approach to art is reflected in the change in genre…

Let them eat ice cream!
The 17th century was a busy one. Full of territorial disputes around the world, English colonisation of the Americas, Japanese isolation, the fall of the Ming Dynasty in China… I could go on. But I won’t. More importantly, the world was (still) heavily focused on religious art, though many artists started to branch out and become a bit more narcissistic, here’s lookin’ at you Rembrandt and your many self-portraits. Do you know what else came to be in the 17th century? Ice cream. You (probably) read it here first! No proper recipe for ice cream, though various other versions previously existed in Persia, China, and Italy for example, appeared until…
