Orazio Lomi Gentileschi (1563-1639)
Rest on the Flight to Egypt, around 1626/28
On the run from Herod, the Holy Family rests on the street, in front of the crumbling brick wall. Exhausted, Joseph has fallen asleep while Mary breast-feeds her child. In its depiction of misery as well als dignity, and humble acceptance of a hard fate, Gentileschi combines Caravaggian realism with the aesthetic sense of his Tuscan homeland.
Ruhe auf der Flucht nach Ägypten, um 1626-28
Auf der Straße, vor einer bröckelnden Ziegelmauer, rastet die vor Herodes geflohene heilige Familie: Josef ist erschöpft eingeschlafen, während Maria das Kind stillt. Bei der Schilderung von Elend aber auch Würde und demütiger Hinnahme eines schweren Schicksals vereint Gentileschi caravaggesken Realismus mit dem Schönheitssinn seiner toskanischen Heimat.
Caravaggio and the Caravaggisti
Gallery V
The KHM houses one of the most important collections of paintings by Caravaggio and his followers outside Italy. After training in Milan, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) moved to Rome in 1592, where he soon found favour with important patrons and connoisseurs. His first public commission, the decoration of the Contarelli Chapel in the church of S. Luigio dei Francesi (1599), caused a sensation and turned him into one of the most famous painters in Rome.
Caravaggio's dramatic use of light and dark, and his revolutionary pictorial solutions were quickly copied by other artists who modified and disseminated them throughout parts of Italy and Europe. The colleciton in Vienna comprises works by the Italian painters Manfredi and Gentileschi as well as by the Frenchmen Bigot, Régnier, Vouet and Valentin, and the Dutch artists Terbrugghen, Honthorst, Baburen and Stomer.
Typical for the work of Caravaggio's followers is the use of dramatic spotlights that pick out selected objects from the sourrounding darkness, a preference for half-figure compositions where the protagonists are placed close to the picture plane and thus the spectator, and a lack of idealization in the rendering of the figures; they, their robes and other objects in the painting are clearly subject to the ravages of time and frequently also to the tug of gravity.
Caravaggio und der internationale Caravaggismus
Saal V
Das KHM verfügt über eine der bedeutendsten Sammlung caravaggesker Malerei außerhalb Italiens.
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) kam nach einer kurzen Ausbildung in Mailand 1592 nach Rom und wurde bald von einflussreichen Mäzenen unterstützt. Mit seinem ersten öffentlichen Auftrag, der Ausstattung der Contarelli-Kapelle in der Kirche S. Luigio die Francesi (1599), zog er große Aufmerksamkeit auf sich und wurde zu einem der gefragtesten Maler der Stadt.
Caravaggios eigentümliche Helldunkel-Malerei und seine revolutionären Bildlösungen wurden von zahlreichen anderen Künstlern rasch aufgegriffen, vielfach variiert und fanden in verschiedenen Teilen Italiens und Europas Verbreitung. In der Wiener Sammlung vertreten sind neben den Italienern Manfredi und Gentileschi die Franzosen Bigot, Régnier, Vouet und Valentin, sowie die Niederländer Terbrugghen, Honthorst, Baburen und Stomer.
Zu den charakteristischen Merkmalen des Caravaggismus zählen eine schlaglichtartige Beleuchtung der Bildgegenstände, die bewirkt, dass sich die beleuchteten Seiten scharf abzeichnen, während die Schattenpartien im Dunkel versinken; eine Präferenz für das Halbfigurenformat, das die Personen nah an den Betrachter heranrückt, sowie ein kaum idealisiertes Bildpersonal, das - ebenso wie die dargestellten Kleider und Gegenstände - dem Zahl der Zeit und gelegentlich auch dem Zerren und Ziehen der Schwerkraft ausgesetzt ist.

Main building of the Kunsthistorisches Museum at Maria-Theresa-Square
The Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM abbreviated) is an art museum in Vienna. It is one of the largest and most important museums in the world. It was opened in 1891 and 2012 visited of 1.351.940 million people.
The museum
The Kunsthistorisches Museum is with its opposite sister building, the Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum), the most important historicist large buildings of the Ringstrasse time. Together they stand around the Maria Theresa square, on which also the Maria Theresa monument stands. This course spans the former glacis between today's ring road and 2-line, and is forming a historical landmark that also belongs to World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Vienna.
History
Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Gallery
The Museum came from the collections of the Habsburgs, especially from the portrait and armor collections of Ferdinand of Tyrol, the collection of Emperor Rudolf II (most of which, however scattered) and the art collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm into existence. Already In 1833 asked Joseph Arneth, curator (and later director) of the Imperial Coins and Antiquities Cabinet, bringing together all the imperial collections in a single building .
Architectural History
The contract to build the museum in the city had been given in 1858 by Emperor Franz Joseph. Subsequently, many designs were submitted for the ring road zone. Plans by August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Null planned to build two museum buildings in the immediate aftermath of the Imperial Palace on the left and right of the Heroes' Square (Heldenplatz). The architect Ludwig Förster planned museum buildings between the Schwarzenberg Square and the City Park, Martin Ritter von Kink favored buildings at the corner Währingerstraße/ Scots ring (Schottenring), Peter Joseph, the area Bellariastraße, Moritz von Loehr the south side of the opera ring, and Ludwig Zettl the southeast side of the grain market (Getreidemarkt).
From 1867, a competition was announced for the museums, and thereby set their current position - at the request of the Emperor, the museum should not be too close to the Imperial Palace, but arise beyond the ring road. The architect Carl von Hasenauer participated in this competition and was able the at that time in Zürich operating Gottfried Semper to encourage to work together. The two museum buildings should be built here in the sense of the style of the Italian Renaissance. The plans got the benevolence of the imperial family. In April 1869, there was an audience with of Joseph Semper at the Emperor Franz Joseph and an oral contract was concluded, in July 1870 was issued the written order to Semper and Hasenauer.
Crucial for the success of Semper and Hasenauer against the projects of other architects were among others Semper's vision of a large building complex called "Imperial Forum", in which the museums would have been a part of. Not least by the death of Semper in 1879 came the Imperial Forum not as planned for execution, the two museums were built, however.
Construction of the two museums began without ceremony on 27 November 1871 instead. Semper moved to Vienna in the sequence. From the beginning, there were considerable personal differences between him and Hasenauer, who finally in 1877 took over sole construction management. 1874, the scaffolds were placed up to the attic and the first floor completed, built in 1878, the first windows installed in 1879, the Attica and the balustrade from 1880 to 1881 and built the dome and the Tabernacle. The dome is topped with a bronze statue of Pallas Athena by Johannes Benk.
The lighting and air conditioning concept with double glazing of the ceilings made the renunciation of artificial light (especially at that time, as gas light) possible, but this resulted due to seasonal variations depending on daylight to different opening times .

Empire
The Kunsthistorisches Museum was on 17 October 1891 officially opened by Emperor Franz Joseph I. Since 22 October 1891 , the museum is accessible to the public. Two years earlier, on 3 November 1889, the collection of arms, Arms and Armour today, had their doors open. On 1 January 1890 the library service resumed its operations. The merger and listing of other collections of the Highest Imperial Family from the Upper and Lower Belvedere, the Hofburg Palace and Ambras in Tyrol will need another two years.
189, the farm museum was organized in seven collections with three directorates:
Directorate of coins, medals and antiquities collection
The Egyptian Collection
The Antique Collection
The coins and medals collection
Management of the collection of weapons, art and industrial objects
Weapons collection
Collection of industrial art objects
Directorate of Art Gallery and Restaurieranstalt (Restoration Office)
Collection of watercolors, drawings, sketches, etc.
Restoration Office
Library
Very soon the room the Court Museum (Hofmuseum) for the imperial collections was offering became too narrow. To provide temporary help, an exhibition of ancient artifacts from Ephesus in the Theseus Temple was designed. However, additional space had to be rented in the Lower Belvedere.
1914, after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne, his " Estonian Forensic Collection " passed to the administration of the Court Museum. This collection, which emerged from the art collection of the house of d' Este and world travel collection of Franz Ferdinand, was placed in the New Imperial Palace since 1908. For these stocks, the present collection of old musical instruments and the Museum of Ethnology emerged.
The First World War went by, apart from the oppressive economic situation without loss. The farm museum remained during the five years of war regularly open to the public.
Until 1919 the K.K. Art Historical Court Museum was under the authority of the Oberstkämmereramt (head chamberlain office) and belonged to the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. The officials and employees were part of the royal household.
First Republic
The transition from monarchy to republic, in the museum took place in complete tranquility. On 19 November 1918 the two imperial museums on Maria Theresa Square were placed under the state protection of the young Republic of German Austria. Threatening to the stocks of the museum were the claims raised in the following weeks and months of the "successor states" of the monarchy as well as Italy and Belgium on Austrian art collection. In fact, it came on 12th February 1919 to the violent removal of 62 paintings by armed Italian units. This "art theft" left a long time trauma among curators and art historians.
It was not until the Treaty of Saint-Germain of 10 September 1919, providing in Article 195 and 196 the settlement of rights in the cultural field by negotiations. The claims of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, and Italy again could mostly being averted in this way. Only Hungary, which presented the greatest demands by far, was met by more than ten years of negotiation in 147 cases.
On 3 April 1919 was the expropriation of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine by law and the acquisition of its property, including the "Collections of the Imperial House" , by the Republic. Of 18 June 1920 the then provisional administration of the former imperial museums and collections of Este and the secular and clergy treasury passed to the State Office of Internal Affairs and Education, since 10 November 1920, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Education. A few days later it was renamed the Art History Court Museum in the "Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna State", 1921 "Kunsthistorisches Museum" . Of 1st January 1921 the employees of the museum staff passed to the state of the Republic.
Through the acquisition of the former imperial collections owned by the state, the museum found itself in a complete new situation. In order to meet the changed circumstances in the museum area, designed Hans Tietze in 1919 the "Vienna Museum program". It provided a close cooperation between the individual museums to focus at different houses on main collections. So dominated exchange, sales and equalizing the acquisition policy in the interwar period. Thus resulting until today still valid collection trends. Also pointing the way was the relocation of the weapons collection from 1934 in its present premises in the New Castle, where since 1916 the collection of ancient musical instruments was placed.
With the change of the imperial collections in the ownership of the Republic the reorganization of the internal organization went hand in hand, too. Thus the museum was divided in 1919 into the Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection (with the Oriental coins)
Collection of Classical Antiquities
Collection of ancient coins
Collection of modern coins and medals
Weapons collection
Collection of sculptures and crafts with the Collection of Ancient Musical Instruments

The Museum 1938-1945
Count Philipp Ludwig Wenzel Sinzendorf according to Rigaud. Clarisse 1948 by Baroness de Rothschildt "dedicated" to the memory of Baron Alphonse de Rothschildt; restituted to the Rothschilds in 1999, and in 1999 donated by Bettina Looram Rothschild, the last Austrian heiress.
With the "Anschluss" of Austria to the German Reich all Jewish art collections such as the Rothschilds were forcibly "Aryanised". Collections were either "paid" or simply distributed by the Gestapo at the museums. This resulted in a significant increase in stocks. But the KHM was not the only museum that benefited from the linearization. Systematically looted Jewish property was sold to museums, collections or in pawnshops throughout the empire.
After the war, the museum struggled to reimburse the "Aryanised" art to the owners or their heirs. They forced the Rothschild family to leave the most important part of their own collection to the museum and called this "dedications", or "donations". As a reason, was the export law stated, which does not allow owners to perform certain works of art out of the country. Similar methods were used with other former owners. Only on the basis of international diplomatic and media pressure, to a large extent from the United States, the Austrian government decided to make a change in the law (Art Restitution Act of 1998, the so-called Lex Rothschild). The art objects were the Rothschild family refunded only in the 1990s.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum operates on the basis of the federal law on the restitution of art objects from the 4th December 1998 (Federal Law Gazette I, 181 /1998) extensive provenance research. Even before this decree was carried out in-house provenance research at the initiative of the then archive director Herbert Haupt. This was submitted in 1998 by him in collaboration with Lydia Grobl a comprehensive presentation of the facts about the changes in the inventory levels of the Kunsthistorisches Museum during the Nazi era and in the years leading up to the State Treaty of 1955, an important basis for further research provenance.
The two historians Susanne Hehenberger and Monika Löscher are since 1st April 2009 as provenance researchers at the Kunsthistorisches Museum on behalf of the Commission for Provenance Research operating and they deal with the investigation period from 1933 to the recent past.
The museum today
Today the museum is as a federal museum, with 1st January 1999 released to the full legal capacity - it was thus the first of the state museums of Austria, implementing the far-reaching self-financing. It is by far the most visited museum in Austria with 1.3 million visitors (2007).
The Kunsthistorisches Museum is under the name Kunsthistorisches Museum and Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theatre Museum with company number 182081t since 11 June 1999 as a research institution under public law of the Federal virtue of the Federal Museums Act, Federal Law Gazette I/115/1998 and the Museum of Procedure of the Kunsthistorisches Museum and Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theatre Museum, 3 January 2001, BGBl II 2/ 2001, in force since 1 January 2001, registered.
In fiscal 2008, the turnover was 37.185 million EUR and total assets amounted to EUR 22.204 million. In 2008 an average of 410 workers were employed.

Thanks to Kalilies <3. Also, I did not resolve eyelids issue. This affect all my characters in-game (also updated Sighne follower). Upper eyelids seems to disapear when you look at character from bigger distance... No idea what caused this and when... After or before I installed chargen extension? Or when I tried LadyHead? Noooo idea.... -.-.

Thanks everybody for your amazing support, I would have never thought I would have reached this so quickly. Thanks so much! As last time, I have tagged those who I feel have been especially friendly and helpful over my time here.
A big thank you to all my followers here on Flickr. Also a big thank you for all the likes and nice comments you all left on my pics. Appreciate every single one a lot!
Cheers to all of you! It's hard to believe half a thousand people are seeing my creations in their Flickr feed! I thought of something quirky to celebrate this milestone, despite I quite liked the minifig Flickr follower counter that I've used before. Hope you don't mind! :)
What's up?
My stream has been a little slow lately. Though I have relatively recently uploaded my mobile suit X-RAY³, that one was done for ages already. In other words, not much beyond some minifigs (some of you appreciate them, but then again I think many of you don't really care).
So where are the big builds?
Well, I've been busy with my internship (I'm in my final week right now), so I'm only building once in a while. However, I am making progress on a large build (96x32!) from the shadows, which has to be finished by October. So that's where part of my attention goes. The rest gets divided over other ideas that I plan to build (Guilds of Historica, sci-fi, Ideas projects...), doing some disassembly, building some sets, and sorting.
I should mention that Guilds of Historica has awakened from it's slumber, and I really want to get some builds out and turn back to my roots as an AFOL. Choices, choices...
What events lie ahead?
I will be displaying at LEGO World Utrecht again, in October, for which I'm coordinating a big layout. In November I'll be exhibiting at Brickmania Antwerp. Hope to see you there!
Tell me, what's that big chaos on the picture?
Glad you ask! :P It's "LEGO Island", my biggest MOC ever! I built it almost 10 years ago, inspired by the theme Islands Extreme Stunts. It's packed with all kinds of vehicles, buildings (well, sort of..) and places to explore; I can share more pics if requested. ;D
I hope I've had you entertained for a few minutes, feel free to ask questions! Have a nice day!

Hello there followers - I've spent a year documenting the NHS based out of Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
This is for those who might be interested in an excursion because you like my style of photography or if you just want a night out because you can...
I'd love to see those people I already know and would be honoured to meet new faces who I've followed/faved/spoken to over the years I've spent on Flickr. I know some of you are already planning to come which is wonderful, wonderful news.
Monday 15 October: 6:00pm - 7:30pm. You will need to book a space for this event though so please click the link at the end of this post.
There are some incredibly surreal images in this exhibition and what followed these was the discovery of some fascinating stories and statistics. I care passionately about the NHS. If this helps people to understand what a complex machine it really is, then it will equip them to have a more informed opinion regarding the state of the NHS and where they want it to go over the next 70 years.
Under The Skin.
Addenbrooke's Board Room, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Hills Road, CB2 0QQ
Visit the exhibition and hear the artist in conversation about the work. Richard says, "I want to look at the hospital as-is. Not what it aspires to be, nor what the media sometimes portrays it to be. I want to be objective in helping people understand the hospital in greater depth in terms of how it works and who works in it. With extra knowledge comes the increased ability/impetus to hold conversations, which in turn can help to create informed opinion as to where the NHS should or could go in the next 70 years of its life."
2018 is the 70th anniversary of the NHS - and at no time in its history has it been under such pressure. Recent figures suggest 85% of people think the NHS is in crisis and 60% would be prepared to pay more in taxes to support the service. However, public understanding of how the health service works is limited, the NHS is complicated and there is more to it than doctors and nurses.
Over the past year, architectural photographer Richard Fraser has set out to look under the skin of the NHS at his local hospital Addenbrooke's, seeking out hidden corners and unseen aspects of care. Looking at what makes the hospital work, and keep working when experiencing unprecedented pressure.
This exhibition explores the places and spaces of the hospital as an 'abstract'; devoid of the people that serve it, the photographs are nevertheless filled with hints and scraps of evidence of what people are trying to achieve through 24 hour healthcare delivery, whatever that may hold - joy, pain, loss. At all times, the project aims to highlight how NHS staff try to help these people and their loved ones along their path through life; always there, regardless of wealth or social background.

Monochrome Cowboy (version 2)
To my Followers,
I decided to remove the previous version(s) of this photo in preference to the above. I feel the sepia with burnt edges seemed to suit this photo, harking back to a bygone era and more innocent times.
I went back to the drawing board (Lightroom), starting from scratch, with the (NEF Raw file).
As I used a fairly high ISO for the Nikon D3x it caused quite a lot of Colour Noise (Red and Green, mostly), as well as other noise in the shadows under the Cowboy's hat. Disappointing, to me. My weakness in the digital photography era is treating Noise and getting the Sharpness correct.
Using Lightroom, after I had selected my tailor-made camera profile and lens profile, and adjusted the exposure and contrast, etc., I increased the magnification to 4:1 (400%) and focused on the side of his face, in the area of the Noise on the forehead, ears, nose, and crow's feet wrinkles beside his left eye. I adjusted the Colour Noise setting to just remove the coloured speckles, without losing too much detail, so the skin would not look blotchy. I did the same for Luminance Noise. Then began to adjust Sharpening levels, just below the point where the coloured speckles returned. Also, I looked at any hard edges for halos. I do not want any halos.
What else did I do?
I felt the power line catenary structures on the hill detracted from the mental-scene of this photo, that it could very well have been taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, in Hamilton. So, I tediously removed them. It was not easy.
I have not removed the flagpole, in the background, as it was becoming "too hard".
Trust me when I write that I seldom spend so much "creative" effort to make my photos something they are not.
I tend to be a "What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get" kind of photographer.
Sorry, I noticed a couple dust spots after posting, so, they have been removed and reposted.
It's not too long ago that I've celebrated my 30th follower - now its a hundred. Still I am happy for everybody who likes my pictures good enough for a daily update, I smile about every fave and every comment. You are a friendy bunch of people and I am glad to know you at least virtually.
Hundert Follower - es ist der Wahnsinn. Es ist doch noch nicht lange har, daß ich ein Bild für den 30. Follower gebaut und hochgeladen habe! Ich freu mich über jede und jeden, die meine Bilder wert finden, über Updates informiert zu werden, lächle immer noch über jedes einzelne Sternchen und freu mich über eure Kommentare. Ihr seid ein netter Haufen und ich freu mich, euch wenigstens virtuell zu kennen!

Thank you so much to all my hundred followers! ^^ Seriously, I know it's silly, but you folks have no idea how much it means to me when I see that someone new follows or somebody faves one one of my pics - even on my crappiest days, I can't help but smile. So thank you!
You know, I never really believed when I started posting pics on here that anyone would really care all that much - I only joined because it seemed silly to build stuff just to let them rot away forever in a folder on my laptop, but here we are 100 followers later! Scrolling through my albums shows me that I've come a long way since those first attempts at mobile frame design, but it's clear that I still have loads to learn and discover about the Art of the Brick.
Oh, and while I'm at it: Welcome to anyone finding my stuff by way of Brick Journal! ^^
This Hyaku Shiki was originally going to be a different gundam entirely (which I'll get back to another day), but when I realized that I had gotten my hundredth follower the other day I went wild with the bucket tool, re-rigged some greebling and spent way too much time staring at pictures of the beam rifle and clay bazooka. o0 I really really wanted to do this in metallic gold, but bluerender doesn't handle very well, so I settled for flame yellow. It actually looks a lot like the color from the anime, so I'm cool with it.
I thought about doing the hyper bazooka launcher too, but then I figured I ought to save something for if I ever reach 200. ^^
Long time followers may recall that I posted a bunch of photos of buildings, mostly residential, in Newburgh, New York a couple of years ago. Those buildings were mostly on Liberty and Grand Streets north of Broadway. I finally returned in July 2021 to photograph even more buildings. This time I stared on Chambers Street, which is one block west of Liberty and zig-zagged my way up and down the streets until I ran out of steam a couple of hours later.
Newburgh was one of the wealthiest cities in the country for much of the 19th century and the housing stock is a reflection of that wealth. When jobs began leaving the area in the 1950s the city went into a long period of decline. The decline was made much worse by a atrociously racist urban renewal policy that intentionally destroyed much of downtown Newburgh in the 1960s. Over the past couple of decades the neighborhood has had fits and starts of renewal but there are still large swaths of poverty along with abandoned buildings. The decrepit houses often sit next to newly renovated places, making for a striking contrast.
This semi-renovated building at 44 Chambers is home to the Cathedral at Holy Trinity Church of Unity church.
Hello there, In last months I had many changes in my life.
Me and my family moved to Germany and suddenly I have no more access to this account from my computer.

Im so sorry for my nearly 2K Followers. ..
But I hope you all understand my situation.
