Attic Red-Figure Skyphos: Flute Player and Youth
Greek, (High Classical Period) ca 440-410 BCE
Terracotta
Of the some eighty vases assigned to the Shuvalov Painter (named after one vase in a Russian collection), this is the only skyphos, or drinking cup. His figures are extremely delicate, with sheer drapery. He favored small shapes for pottery, and he has been called a miniaturist.
Attic Red-Figure Lekythos: Zeus and Ganymede
Greek, (High Classical Period) 460-420 BCE
Terracotta
This work, in the manner of the Achilles Painter, presents a youthful athlete practicing under the guidance of his trainer. The scene refers to the myth of Zeus and Ganymede. Ganymede was a young athlete who was snatched from earth by Zeus in the form of an eagle and brought to Olympus to serve as cupbearer to the gods.
Red-figure Stamnos: Dionysiac Procession
Greek, 470-440 BCE
Terracotta
Hephaestus was the god of fire and metal-working. He is shown here riding on a mule, an animal considered comical by the Greeks. Hephaestus is accompanied by Dionysus, the god of wine, and his mischievous satyrs.
The English Classical scholar Sir John Beazley attributed this stamnos, or jar, to the painter Hermonax, who was a pupil of the celebrated artist known as the Berlin Painter. Over 200 works have been attributed to Hermonax, whose career coincided with the flowering of the High Classical period, which culminated in the artistic program of monuments like the Parthenon. His figures cover the whole surface of the vessel and have the monumentality of relief sculptures of the time.

"Luigi Cherubini (/ˌkɛrʊˈbiːni/ KERR-uu-BEE-nee; Italian: [luˈiːdʒi keruˈbiːni]; 8 or 14 September 1760 – 15 March 1842) was an Italian Classical and Romantic composer. His most significant compositions are operas and sacred music. Beethoven regarded Cherubini as the greatest of his contemporaries. His operas were heavily praised and interpreted by Rossini.
The Vienna State Opera (German: Wiener Staatsoper, IPA: [ˈviːnɐ ˈʃtaːtsˌʔoːpɐ]) is an opera house and opera company based in Vienna, Austria. The 1,709-seat Renaissance Revival venue was the first major building on the Vienna Ring Road. It was built from 1861 to 1869 following plans by August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll, and designs by Josef Hlávka. The opera house was inaugurated as the "Vienna Court Opera" (Wiener Hofoper) in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth of Austria. It became known by its current name after the establishment of the First Austrian Republic in 1921. The Vienna State Opera is the successor of the old Vienna Court Opera (built in 1636 inside the Hofburg). The new site was chosen and the construction paid by Emperor Franz Joseph in 1861.
The members of the Vienna Philharmonic are recruited from the Vienna State Opera's orchestra. The building is also the home of the Vienna State Ballet, and it hosts the annual Vienna Opera Ball during the carnival season.
The Innere Stadt (German pronunciation: [ˈɪnərə ˈʃtad] ⓘ; Viennese: Innare Stod; "Inner City") is the 1st municipal district of Vienna (German: 1. Bezirk) located in the center of the Austrian capital. The Innere Stadt is the old town of Vienna. Until the city boundaries were expanded in 1850, the Innere Stadt was congruent with the city of Vienna. Traditionally it was divided into four quarters, which were designated after important town gates: Stubenviertel (northeast), Kärntner Viertel (southeast), Widmerviertel (southwest), Schottenviertel (northwest).
The Ringstraße circles the Innere Stadt along the route of the former city walls.
The first district is, with a workforce of 100,745, the largest employment locale in Vienna. This is partially due to tourism, as well as the presence of many corporate headquarters due to the district's central location.
Vienna (/viˈɛnə/ i vee-EN-ə; German: Wien [viːn] i; Austro-Bavarian: Wean [veɐ̯n]) is the capital, largest city, and one of nine provinces of Austria. Vienna is Austria's most populous city and its primate city, with about two million inhabitants (2.9 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one-third of the country's population), and its cultural, economic, and political center. It is the sixth-largest city proper by population in the European Union and the largest of all cities on the Danube river.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, Vienna was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I, the city had two million inhabitants. Today, it is the second-largest German-speaking city after Berlin. Vienna is host to many major international organizations, including the United Nations, OPEC and the OSCE. The city is located in the eastern part of Austria and is close to the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants. In 2001, the city center was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In July 2017 it was moved to the list of World Heritage in Danger.
Additionally, Vienna has been called the "City of Music" due to its musical legacy, as many famous classical musicians such as Beethoven and Mozart called Vienna home. Vienna is also said to be the "City of Dreams" because it was home to the world's first psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud. Vienna's ancestral roots lie in early Celtic and Roman settlements that transformed into a Medieval and Baroque city. It is well known for having played a pivotal role as a leading European music center, from the age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The historic center of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque palaces and gardens, and the late-19th-century Ringstraße lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.
Austria (German: Österreich), formally the Republic of Austria (German: Republik Österreich), is a landlocked country in Central Europe, lying in the Eastern Alps. It is a federation of nine provinces, one of which is the capital, Vienna, the most populous city and province. Austria is bordered by Germany to the northwest, Czechia to the north, Slovakia to the northeast, Hungary to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. The country occupies an area of 83,871 km2 (32,383 sq mi) and has a population of 9 million." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

I guess you know you're in Korea when you hear live classical music in popular destinations. I was walking by a park near my hotel when I heard beautiful music coming through a curtain. An orchestra was practising for a performance. It wasn't obvious to an untrained person like me that they needed any practice. :-)
