Het Steen is a medieval fortress in the old city centre of Antwerp, Belgium, one of Europe's biggest ports. The surviving structure was built between 1200 and 1225 as a gateway to a larger castle of the Dukes of Brabant which was demolished in the 19th century. As the first stone fortress of Antwerp, Het Steen is Antwerp's oldest building and used to be its oldest urban centre. The words "Het Steen", are dutch for The Rock.
The first documented mention of Antwerp Castle dates back to the 12th century. However, there was a castle here as early as the Carolingian period in the 9th century. The first castle may have been built after the Viking incursions in the early Middle Ages; in 879 the Normans invaded Flanders. The Margraviate of Antwerp came into being around 974. The Duchy of Lower Lotharingia was part of the Holy Roman Empire, while on the opposite bank of the Scheldt lay the county of Flanders, which was subordinate to the king of France. From 1076 to 1100 Godfrey of Bouillon was the Margrave of Antwerp. Godfrey I, Count of Louvain, received the duchy in 1106. His great-grandson was Henry I, Duke of Brabant who received the Duchy of Brabant in 1183.
Previously known as Antwerpen Burcht (fortress), Het Steen gained its current name in around 1520, after significant rebuilding under Charles V. The rebuilding led to its being known first as "'s Heeren Steen" (the King's stone castle), and later simply as "Het Steen" (the stone castle). The Dutch word "steen" means "stone", and used to be used for "fortress" or "palace", as in the "Gravensteen" in Ghent, Belgium.
The fortress made it possible to control the access to the Scheldt, the river on whose bank it stands. It was used as a prison between 1303 and 1827. The largest part of the fortress, including dozens of historic houses and the oldest church of the city, was demolished in the 19th century when the quays were straightened to stop the silting up of the Scheldt. The remaining building, heavily changed, contains a shipping museum, with some old canal barges displayed on the quay outside.
Richard Wagner's opera Lohengrin, which premiered in 1850, is set in Antwerp Castle around the year 933 under the reign of Henry the Fowler, with Elsa von Brabant as the main female protagonist and the swan knight Lohengrin, who magically appears on the river on a barge pulled by a swan when the king holds court hearing on the bank. Ludwig II of Bavaria had Neuschwanstein Castle designed by stage designers in 1869; its narrow rectangular inner courtyard is designed according to Wagner's stage directions for Antwerp Castle, with Elsa's wing on the left including the covered balcony on which she stands at the beginning of the second act.

ART FUTURA by
Paul Friedlander (born 1951) is a light artist who first trained as a physicist. Friedlander obtained a bachelor's degree in Physics and Mathematics at the University of Sussex and was tutored by Sir Anthony Leggett who later was awarded a Nobel Prize for his work on superfluidity. In 1976 he graduated with a B.A. in Fine Art at Exeter College of Art, UK. Friedlander worked as a lighting and stage designer for theatrical productions and avant-garde music before devoting himself to kinetic art at the age of 36. He lives and works in London, United Kingdom (UK).
Many of his works make use of persistence of vision, a property of how light is perceived combined with movement to create a three dimensional kinetic body of light in sculptural form. Friedlander applies his scientific knowledge to his art and is heavily influenced by Chaos theory, String Theory and cosmology

Duisburg, Mercatorinsel, Skulptur "Echo des Poseidon" und Blick auf die dahinter stehende Skulptur "Rheinorange" und auf den linksrheinischen Duisburger Ortsteil Homberg.
Wie ein Schiffsbug ragt die „Mercatorinsel" hinein in das Mündungsgebiet von Ruhr und Rhein. Die Landzunge, zugleich nördlichster Punkt des Duisburger Hafen-Areals, ist seit dem 27. Mai 2016 Standort eines außergewöhnlichen Kunstwerks.
Die Bronze-Statue „Das Echo des Poseidon" erinnert an den griechischen Meeresgott, dem in der Antike die Kraft zur Beherrschung der Wellen und Stürme zugeschrieben wurde. Die Skulptur steht - beleuchtet und vor Hochwasser ausreichend geschützt - auf einem Sockel von ca. 6 m Durchmesser und ist insgesamt 10 m hoch. Die Skulptur selbst zeigt einen 6 m hohen Kopf mit Schultern, der zu schweben scheint, allerdings von einem 4,5 m hohen Sockel getragen wird.
Das Kunstwerk ist eine Kreation des berühmtesten zeitgenössischen deutschen Bildhauers, Prof. Markus Lüpertz, geschaffen aus Anlass des 300. Hafengeburtstages. Lüpertz würdigt damit sowohl die Verdienste des Hafens um den erfolgreichen Strukturwandel an der Ruhr, als auch die Region selbst, in der er u. a. zeitweise im Bergbau gearbeitet und Kunst studiert hat. 21 Jahre lang, bis 2009, leitete der universelle Künstler Lüpertz (neben der Bildhauerei hat er sich als Maler und Grafiker, aber auch als Bühnenbildner, Dichter und Musiker einen Namen gemacht) die Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, heute lebt und arbeitet er in Berlin.
Like the bow of a ship, the "Mercator Island" protrudes into the confluence of the Ruhr and Rhine.
The headland, which is also the northernmost point of the Duisburg port area, has been the location of an extraordinary work of art since May 27, 2016.
The bronze statue "The Echo of Poseidon" is reminiscent of the Greek god of the sea, to whom the power to control waves and storms was attributed in ancient times. The sculpture stands - illuminated and adequately protected from flooding - on a base of approx. 6 m diameter and is 10m high overall The sculpture itself features a 6m high head and shoulders that appears to be floating but is supported by a 4.5m high base.
The work of art is a creation of the most famous contemporary German sculptor, Prof. Markus Lüpertz, created on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the port. Lüpertz thus honors the services of the port to the successful structural change in the Ruhr, as well as the region itself, in which he e.g. temporarily worked in mining and studied art. For 21 years, until 2009, the universal artist Lüpertz (in addition to sculpture, he made a name for himself as a painter and graphic artist, but also as a stage designer, poet and musician) headed the Düsseldorf State Art Academy, today he lives and works in Berlin.
In Old Moat of The Tower of London, London
Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red was a public art installation created in the moat of the Tower of London, England, between July and November 2014.
It commemorated the centenary of the outbreak of World War I and consisted of 888,246 ceramic red poppies, each intended to represent one British or Colonial serviceman killed in the War.
The ceramic artist was Paul Cummins, with conceptual design by the stage designer Tom Piper.
The work's title was taken from the first line of a poem by an unknown soldier in World War I.
Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of wearing a remembrance poppy) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919,[1] the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918, in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. ("At the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am.) The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.

Not actually built for my birthday, but rather I visited here on my birthday, a castle I have always wanted to visit :) Disney's Cinderella castle was based on this design.
Neuschwanstein Castle is located in the Bavarian Alps, not far from Munich, and was built under 'Mad' King Ludwig, who with his love of opera and fairytales commissioned a stage designer rather than an architecht to build the castle. During it's construction, the king would sit at his father's neighbouring castle, and watch it being built through a telescope. It was never finished, as the King was declared insane and soon after died.
quote by David Hockney
David Hockney (born July 9, 1937, Bradford, Yorkshire, England) is an English painter, draftsman, printmaker, photographer, and stage designer whose works are characterized by economy of technique, a preoccupation with light, and a frank mundane realism derived from Pop art and photography.

Prospect Cottage at Dungeness, Kent, home of Derek Jarman for the latter part of his life.
Derek Jarman (January 31, 1942 – February 19, 1994) was an English film director, stage designer, artist, and writer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Jarman
Neuschwanstein Castle, royal palace in the Bavarian Alps of Germany, the most famous of three royal palaces built for Louis II of Bavaria, sometimes referred to as Mad King Ludwig, who grew up nearby at Hohenschwangau Castle. Begun in 1869 and left unfinished at Louis's death in 1886, the castle is the embodiment of 19th century romanticism. In a fantastical imitation of a medieval castle, Neuschwanstein is set with towers and spires and is spectacularly sited on a high point over the Pöllat River gorge. The king worked with three different architects in succession: Eduard Riedel, Georg Dollmann, and Julius Hofmann, all Germans who based their designs largely on a scheme produced by German stage designer Christoph Jank.
King Louis was a patron of the German composer Richard Wagner, and the third-floor rooms reflect Louis's love of the legends used by Wagner in his operas: for Tannhäuser, a winter garden and stalactite grotto; for Lohengrin, the great chamber; and the unfinished Byzantine throne room, its vaulted ceiling supported by inlaid stone columns and decorated with stars. The Singers Hall on the fourth floor, with a coffered ceiling, is dedicated to the life of Parsifal, hero of another famous Wagner opera. The palace is now a popular tourist attraction.
It has 65 rooms and only 16 are finished. Louis II lived there for only 172 days. 6 weeks after his death, castle was turned, by Bavarian gvt. into tourists attraction.
Neuschwanstein Castle has - as the only candidate from Germany - the chance to belong to the "New 7 Wonders of the World". Together with the Statue of Liberty, the Kremlin, the Acropolis, the Colosseum and the Great Wall of China the world famous castle is among the 21 finalists of the vote ititiated by the New7Wonders Foundation.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Ida Schumacher (born 5 March 1894 in Arnstorf, Niederbayern (Lower Bavaria), as Ida Strömer and died on 6 April 1956 in Gauting) was a Bavarian theatre actress and comedienne.
Born in 1894 in Arnstorf, Ida Schumacher was first discovered at the age of thirteen for the choir of Münchner Künstlertheater (Munich Artist Theatre). Later, she studied singing but lost her voice in 1930 due to severe cold. She developed paralysis of her vocal cord, which resulted in her famous trademark of speaking with hoarse, constricted voice.
After several engagements at various theatres, Ida made an unprecedented late career as “Ratschkathl” from 1949 to her death in 1956. During that period, she was very successful as a folk actress at the theatres in Nuremberg, Tegernsee, and at Platzl in Munich.
Her role as Ratschkathl was unforgottenable due to the marvellous stage designer who created Elise Aulinger and perfected Ida Schumacher. Her famous figures included the Oardandlerin (Bavarian dialect for egg seller) and the Trambahnschienenritzenreinigungsdame (loosely translated as street car track cleaning lady).
As one of only six Münchner folk actors and singers, she was honoured in 1977 with a fountain monument topped with bronze figure, created by Marlene Neubauer-Woerner, at Viktualienmarkt. A street in her birth town, Arnstorf, is named after her.

Marking one hundred years since the first full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War. Created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins, with setting by stage designer Tom Piper, 888,246 ceramic poppies will progressively fill the Tower's famous moat over the summer. Each poppy represents a British military fatality during the war.
The poppies will encircle the iconic landmark, creating not only a spectacular display visible from all around the Tower but also a location for personal reflection. The scale of the installation intends to reflect the magnitude of such an important centenary creating a powerful visual commemoration.
This was taken the second time we visited The Tower of London, which I believe may have been the actual first full day of Brittian's involvement in the war as while we grabbed a bit of "refreshment" in a pub across the street, the telly was showing Prince William attending a ceremony marking the historic day for his country.

Some background information:
Hohenschwangau and neighbouring Neuschwanstein Castle are definitely one of the highest attended visitor attractions throughout Germany. While Hohenschwangau Castle is visited by more than 300,000 visitors from all over the world each year, Neuschwanstein Castle is even visited by 1.3 million people annually. Hence, both Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castle have really become a big business. The tourist infrastructure around both castles leaves no touristic wishes to be desired and hence is well-prepared for the rush of visitors that arrives here every day. Well, compulsory visit made, but I for one definitely prefer the hidden gems.
Probably the most spectacular and also most famous view of Neuschwanstein Castle is the one from the so-called Marienbrücke (in English "Mary’s Bridge") overlooking both palace and the surrounding landscape. The Marienbrücke crosses Poellat Gorge right behind Neuschwanstein Castle in a distance of about 100 metres. Usually it’s crowded with tourists and visitors have to queue up to be able to cross the bridge and get a view of the building from there. However, at the time we were there, the Marienbrücke was closed due to problems with its statics. The necessary construction works won’t be completed before autumn 2022, just in case you plan a visit.
Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century historicist palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near the town of Fuessen. Like its neighbour Hohenschwangau Castle, it is situated in the Ostallgäu area in the Bavarian region of southern Swabia, directly bordering the Austrian state of Tyrol. The term Allgäu is applied to the northern part of the Alps and their foothills located in southwestern Bavaria. Both castles overlook the Alpsee (in English: "Alp Lake") and the Schwansee (in English: "Swan Lake") with a distant view into the Tyrolean Alps.
The palace of Neuschwanstein was commissioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria (the so-called "Fairy Tale King") from the House of Wittelsbach as a retreat and in honour of Richard Wagner. While Hohenschwangau Castle was the childhood residence of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, Neuschwanstein Castle was intended to be his private residence, until he died in 1886. It was opened to the public shortly after his death. Since then more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle.
Hence, the older one of both castles is Hohenschwangau Castle, which was designed by Ludwig’s father, King Maximilian II of Bavaria, in the first half of the 19th century. Neuschwanstein as well as Hohenschwangau Castle have predecessor buildings on the same spots, which had become ruins. The stronghold on the spot of Neuschwanstein Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1090 under the name of "Schwangau", while the stronghold on the spot of Hohenschwangau Castle was first mentioned in 1397 under the name of "Schwanstein". Only in the 19th century, the names of both castles switched.
Neuschwanstein Castle embodies both the contemporaneous architectural fashion known as castle romanticism, and King Ludwig II's enthusiasm for the operas of Richard Wagner. The King saw both buildings as representatives of a romantic interpretation of the Middle Ages, as well as the musical mythology of his friend Wagner, whose operas Tannhäuser and Lohengrin had made a lasting impression on him.
The building design of Neuschwanstein was drafted by the stage designer Christian Jank and realised by the architect Eduard Riedel. For technical reasons, the ruined castle could not be integrated into the plan. Before and during the construction phase, the King insisted on a detailed plan and on personal approval of each and every draft. Ludwig's control even went so far that the palace has been regarded as his own creation, rather than that of the architects involved.
The construction of Neuschwanstein took quite a long time. It began in 1868, but King Ludwig II wasn’t able to move into the palace until 1880. The construction costs in the King's lifetime amounted to 6.2 million marks (an equivalent to 45 million € today), almost twice the initial cost estimate of 3.2 million marks. As his private means were insufficient for his increasingly escalating construction projects, the King continuously opened new lines of credit. Even after his debts had reached 14 million marks, King Ludwig II insisted on continuation of his different private architectural projects, to which also the palaces of Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee belonged.
To realise all his projects, Ludwig was also able to draw on an additional secret income, which he received in return for a political favour given to Otto von Bismarck. This favour was his approval of the imperial coronation of William I, King of Prussia, who was acclaimed German emperor at the Palace of Versailles in January 1871. By doing that, he had to divest himself of many of his royal prerogatives.
Despite its size, Neuschwanstein did not have space for the royal court, but contained only the King's private lodging and servants' rooms. The court buildings served decorative, rather than residential purposes. The palace was intended to serve King Ludwig II exclusively (who had neither a wife nor children) as a kind of inhabitable theatrical setting. However, it was also dedicated to the life and work of Richard Wagner, who died in 1883 before he had set foot in the building. In the end, Ludwig II lived in the palace for a total of only 172 days.
In 1886, while Ludwig II stayed in Neuschwanstein Palace, the Bavarian government decided to depose the King, who had become more and more divorced from reality. Shortly afterwards, he was also incapacitated and forced to leave his palace. Ludwig was then put under the supervision of Benhard von Gudden, a German neuroanatomist and psychiatrist. On 13th June 1886, both died under mysterious circumstances in the shallow shore water of Lake Starnberg near Berg Castle. Hence, his life ended tragically and the mystery of his death may also have contributed to the personality cult and the popularity, Ludwig has received after his demise.
Today, Neuschwanstein Castle has become a global symbol of the era of Romanticism. The palace has appeared prominently in several movies and has also served as the inspiration for Disneyland's "Sleeping Beauty Castle". In 1977, it became the motif of a West German definitive stamp. And in 2007, it was a finalist in the widely publicised on-line selection of the "New Seven Wonders of the World". Even a meteorite that reached Earth spectacularly in 2002 was named "Neuschwanstein". Since 2015, Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee palaces are on the German tentative list for a future designation as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. A joint candidature with other representative palaces of the romantic historicism is discussed.
Yasuhide Kobashi was a Japanese woodblock print artist, painter, sculptor and stage designer. Being a protégé of Lincoln Kirstein he designed several sets for the New York City Ballet. Later in 1972, requested by Lincoln Kirstein and inspired by themes suggested by George Balanchine, sculptures by Kobashi were installed on each of the staircases leading to the promenade of the New York State Theatre. This side is Ancient Song and on the opposite staircase is Ancient Dance.
Set of Four Mary Poppins Felt Ornaments

Felt, Wood, Hand-Painted Details.
Released in 2005. Limited Edition of 1500. © Disney
Each hand-sewn ornament features a whimsical stylization of one of the different costumes worn by Julie Andrews in the 1964 film: "Jolly Holiday", "Spoonful of Sugar", Mary Poppins' Flying Outfit, and "Chim-Chim-Cheree." The actual movie costumes on which these ornaments are based, were designed by Miss Andrews' then-husband, British stage designer Tony Walton, who received an Academy Award nomination for his costume work.
For the ornaments, I enjoyed the design challenge of attempting to create what amounts to a dimensional "Little Golden Book" painting in felt. The finished products had a charm all their own.
Pablo Picasso (born October 25, 1881, Málaga, Spain—died April 8, 1973, Mougins, France) was a Spanish expatriate painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer. He was one of the greatest and most-influential artists of the 20th century and the creator (with Georges Braque) of Cubism.
