The devil is in the details. by John Stock

When was the world's first railway laid? No one is quite confident on a precise date but simple rails have been used to guide vehicles for centuries, definitely as far back as the middle ages and possibly even in ancient Greece.

What is certain is that in the early 1600s a Nottinghamshire businessman called Huntingdon Beaumont came to Northumberland and laid rails from collieries near Blyth to a shipping point on the coast.

His waggonway used horses hauling wooden waggons on wooden wheels on wooden rails, however this was not a financial success. It did though provide the spark of progression from primitive wooden rails over short distances, to a railway network which would change Britain and the world forever.

Tyneside Roads

From the mid 1600 onwards waggonways and the Tyneside coal industry became linked so closely that they were known throughout the rest of Britain as 'Tyneside Roads'. A network of lines linked collieries on both sides of the Tyne to the river.

It is no coincidence that the North East was the area where waggonways took greatest hold, because canal building was impossible due to deep valleys and steep hills. What set the rail systems of Tyneside apart from all others was its use of the flanged wheel - a key element of the modern railway as we know it.

A revelation

When the Tanfield Railway - or waggonway as it was known at the time - was built in 1725, it was a revelation. Its massive engineering was unlike anything else in its era, or even since the Roman Empire. It was a triumph of engineering over nature, a clear signal that a new industrial age was upon the world, and that railways would play a massive part.

First laid down more than a quarter of a century before the first railway officially sanctioned by government, over 75 years before the first steam locomotive and a whole 100 years earlier than the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the Tanfield Railway is the world's oldest railway. We will be the first railway to celebrate our tricentenary in 2025.

Crows Landing: Elevation 932 feet MSL by Ian Abbott

This survey marker, dated 1958, establishes a precise elevation of 932 feet above mean sea level on the front of the Crows Landing control tower building. It was placed by the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey, forerunner of today's U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Vandals have no respect for survey markers, or anything else.

Wilbur's Spacetime Trumpet by Cran Cowan

2 1

A more precise drawing showing the spiral paths through the "time" dimension (down=blue(-) and up=yellow(+)).

Wilbur's path:

> Red (+spacetime)

> Yellow (+timespace)

> Green (-spacetime)

> Blue (-timespace)

> Red (+spacetime) ... etc...

With this device Wilbur can "stop" his spacetime.

Like the Wilbur's racetrack, this drawing is also a Space-Time diagram where the horizontal axis represents space and the vertical axis represents time.

However, in this drawing the metric is different. The two "Timespace" axes are curved so in that part of the drawing, radial distance represents time and space goes "in and out" of the drawing (on the z-axis).

In both the spacetime and timespace diagrams, proper time (the time Wilbur sees on his clock) is represented by the length of the line he follows as he traverses the 4 helical spiral paths.

A stationary observer's clock rate (as seen by Wilbur) is represented by the pitch angle of his helical path through the Spacetime Trumpet.

HERE'S ONE I MADE EARLIER by geordiedave66

About fifty years earlier to be precise. It started off as a not very well partially made Will's white metal kit. I more or less had to desconstruct it then rebuild it from scratch. It was designed to be mounted on a Triang Brittania chassis. So I bought one second hand (cheapskate) and bingo a Peppercorn A1.

The Peppercorn A1 and A2's never really captured the enthusiast imagination as did Gresley's stuff. But from a traffic point of view they were very reliable and certainly clocked up the miles. Some of them exceding one million miles within about twelve years.LMS affictionados will try and tell you the mileages were fiddled, but they weren't. They were calculated on drivers' tickets which they filled in at the end of every shift, so their pay could be calculated. But a record was also kept of which engine they had used and it was then added to its mileage record. I know this because I was employed as a clerk at York MPD, when I first joined the railway and that was what we did.

Luckily there are two preseved Peppercorns in existance, the new build A1 Tornado and the A2 Blue Peter, although IMHO I think it doubtful the latter will ever run again.

Pot Marigold - Common Marigold - Ruddles - Mary's Gold - Scotch Marigold (Calendula Officinalis) by PHOTOGRAPHY by DM & DBM.

7

Calendula officinalis, the pot marigold, common marigold, ruddles, Mary's gold or Scotch marigold, is a flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. It is probably native to southern Europe, though its long history of cultivation makes its precise origin unknown, and it may possibly be of garden origin.[clarification needed] It is also widely naturalised farther north in Europe (as far as southern England) and elsewhere in warm temperate regions of the world.

The Latin specific epithet officinalis refers to the plant's medicinal and herbal uses.

Description

Calendula officinalis is a short-lived aromatic herbaceous perennial, growing to 80 cm (31 in) tall, with sparsely branched lax or erect stems. The leaves are oblong-lanceolate, 5–17 cm (2–7 in) long, hairy on both sides, and with margins entire or occasionally waved or weakly toothed. The inflorescences are yellow, comprising a thick capitulum or flowerhead 4–7 cm (1+1⁄2–3 in) diameter surrounded by two rows of hairy bracts; in the wild plant they have a single ring of ray florets surrounding the central disc florets. The disc florets are tubular and hermaphrodite, and generally of a more intense orange-yellow colour than the female, tridentate, peripheral ray florets. The flowers may appear all year long where conditions are suitable. The fruit is a thorny curved achene and weight in average 10.1 mg (n=50).

Calendulas are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including cabbage moth, gothic moth, large yellow underwing, and setaceous Hebrew character.

Cultivation

Calendula officinalis is widely cultivated and can be grown easily in sunny locations in most kinds of soils. Although perennial, it is commonly treated as an annual, particularly in colder regions where its winter survival is poor, and in hot summer locations where it also does not survive.

Calendulas are considered by many gardening experts as among the easiest and most versatile flowers to grow in a garden, especially because they tolerate most soils. In temperate climates, seeds are sown in spring for blooms that last throughout the summer and well into the fall. In areas of limited winter freezing, seeds are sown in autumn for winter color. Plants will wither in subtropical summer. Seeds will germinate freely in sunny or half-sunny locations, but plants do best if planted in sunny locations with rich, well-drained soil. Pot marigolds typically bloom quickly from seed (in under two months) in bright yellows, golds, and oranges.

Leaves are spirally arranged, 5–18 cm (2–7 in) long, simple, and slightly hairy. The flower heads range from pastel yellow to deep orange, and are 3–7 cm (1+1⁄4–2+3⁄4 in) across, with both ray florets and disc florets. Most cultivars have a spicy aroma. It is recommended to deadhead (remove dying flower heads) the plants regularly to maintain even blossom production.

Cultivars

Numerous cultivars have been selected for variation in the flowers, from pale yellow to orange-red, and with 'double' or 'semi-double' flowerheads with ray florets replacing some or all of the disc florets. Examples include 'Alpha' (deep orange), 'Jane Harmony', 'Sun Glow' (bright yellow), 'Lemon' (pale yellow), 'Orange Prince' (orange), 'Indian Prince' (dark orange-red), 'Pink Surprise' (double, with inner florets darker than outer florets), 'Green-heart Gold' (double, bright yellow), 'Apricot Pygmy' (double light peach) and 'Chrysantha' (yellow, double). 'Variegata' is a cultivar with yellow variegated leaves.

The cultivar group 'Fiesta Gitana' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Uses

Pot marigold florets are edible. They are often used to add color to salads or added to dishes as a garnish and in lieu of saffron. The leaves are edible but are often not palatable. They have a history of use as a potherb and in salads. The plant is also used to make tea.

Flowers were used in ancient Greek, Roman, Middle Eastern, and Indian cultures as a medicinal herb, as well as a dye for fabrics, foods, and cosmetics. Many of these uses persist today. They are also used to make oil that protects the skin.

Marigold leaves can also be made into a poultice that is believed to help scratches and shallow cuts to heal faster, and to help prevent infection. It has also been used in eye drops.

Constituents

The petals and pollen of Calendula officinalis contain triterpenoid esters and the carotenoids flavoxanthin and auroxanthin (antioxidants and the source of the yellow-orange coloration). The leaves and stems contain other carotenoids, mostly lutein (80%), zeaxanthin (5%), and beta-carotene.[citation needed] Plant extracts are also widely used in cosmetics, presumably due to presence of compounds such as saponins, resins, and essential oils.

The flowers of Calendula officinalis contain flavonol glycosides, triterpene oligoglycosides, oleanane-type triterpene glycosides, saponins, and a sesquiterpene glucoside.[ Calendula flowers are a rich source of lutein, containing 29.8 mg/100g.

Potential pharmacology

Plant pharmacological studies have suggested that Calendula extracts may have anti-viral, anti-genotoxic, and anti-inflammatory properties in vitro. In an in vitro assay, the methanol extract of C. officinalis exhibited antibacterial activity and both the methanol and the ethanol extracts showed antifungal activities.

Spinach & Ricotta Vegetable Lasagna

I'm not terribly precise with my measuring, but it doesn't really matter with this! You really can't go wrong.

3 sheets of fresh lasagna (or however much you need to cover your pan. I usually use a standard lasagna pan.)

Mozzarella cheese

500g ricotta cheese

Milk

1 bunch of english spinach

1 tablespoon of fresh basil

carrots

mushrooms

zucchini

red and green capsicum

and you could add celery, broccoli or anything else.

lentils (I used a 400g can for convenience this time)

1 500g jar of a tomato based pasta sauce

a tablespoon of olive oil

1/2 an onion, diced

1 clove of crushed garlic

Heat oil in a large saucepan/fry pan/ wok. Add onions and garlic and stir until onion is softened. Add all other vegetables (except the spinach) and saute until they're cooked. Stir in lentil and pasta sauce.

Meanwhile, after thoroughly rinsing the spinach, steam it until it starts to wilt. Then, rinse it with cold water and drain, squeeze out the excess water and chop.

Put the ricotta in a bowl and mix with enough milk to make a sauce like consistency. Add basil and spinach and stir.

Spread a layer of the vegetable mix in the bottom of the baking pan and cover with lasagna sheets. Spread the top with a layer of the ricotta and spinach mixture and sprinkle with grated mozzarella. Repeat until you finish with a top layer of ricotta and spinach and cover well with mozzarella.

Bake at 180oC for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

Bob Behnken by Christopher Michel

Bob Behnken has always approached spaceflight as both a test pilot and an engineer—methodical, precise, and deeply aware of the risks involved. Over two decades at NASA, he played a critical role in human spaceflight, logging more than 60 days in space and performing 10 spacewalks. He was instrumental in the early years of the Commercial Crew Program, helping usher in a new era of private space travel.

Born in St. Ann, Missouri, Behnken followed a rigorous academic path, earning a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Caltech before becoming an Air Force flight test engineer. Selected as a NASA astronaut in 2000, he flew twice on the Space Shuttle Endeavour, in 2008 and 2010, conducting complex assembly work on the International Space Station. His most high-profile mission came in 2020, when he and fellow astronaut Doug Hurley became the first crew to fly aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon as part of the Demo-2 test flight. Their success marked the return of human spaceflight from U.S. soil after nearly a decade.

On February 22, 2022, I photographed Behnken and his wife, astronaut Megan McArthur, at Johnson Space Center. We worked in Building 9, the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility, where astronauts train in full-scale spacecraft replicas, and in Building 16, home to the Systems Engineering Simulator. Even in a training environment, Behnken’s deep familiarity with these tools was evident—his time at NASA had made these spaces as familiar to him as any home or cockpit.

Behnken retired from NASA in November 2022 but remains closely connected to aerospace, contributing his expertise to the next generation of engineers and astronauts. His career reflects a commitment to solving the hard problems of spaceflight—designing, testing, and flying the systems that will take humanity further.

Newfoundland Coyote by Zircon_215

16 21

To perhaps be a little more precise, maybe I should have titled it Eastern Coyote. But the strain that we have here in Newfoundland is claimed to be different from the Eastern Coyote ... larger and with perhaps some wolf DNA thrown in for good measure ... in other words, a hybrid. Who knows? The only thing I know is, I've been looking for a shot of these critters for some time now and I've finally got a half decent one. It was taken at 8:43 PM, though, and the light was failing, so there's still room for improvement. :-) I've seen them a number of times before ... some even quite close, but never had time to get a shot. I've even 'hunted' them with a call ... without much success.

The coyote is not native to Newfoundland and theories abound as to how they got here. Some even claim our Newfoundland government, in their inestimable widsom, surreptiously introduced this species to keep down the moose population. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that were true ... after all, they did introduce the moose back in 1904 and we all know what a problem that turned out to be. Also, in 1958,they introduced the Masked Shrew hoping that it would prove to be a check on the larch sawfly, a forest pest. If they did introduce the coyote to keep down the moose population, it certainly backfired on them, though. Because it's not the moose that's suffering as a result of their presence, but rather our native Woodland Caribou. These pests are responsible for killing large numbers of them.

Most likely though they introduced themselves to this island province ... crossing over from Labrador on the pack ice which fills the Strait of Belle Isle in the wintertime. That body of water is only twelve miles wide at its shortest point, so it's not much of a stretch to see that happening.

We also have the wolf here now, too. So, it's anybody's guess how that got here. The wolf, after all, is said to be a significant predator of the coyote where their ranges overlap.

April 12th, 2010 - 102/365 by Ryan Kitching

The other day something sad happened.

I know this is meant to be precise recording of my daily activities but it has taken me a couple of days to process what I really wanted to say.

For those of you who have been following this little adventure will remember that in February I mentioned that there was this little stray cat that made it's way into the factory complex I am in.

He/She was rather sickly when we first met. I decided to take on the task of occasionally giving it some food whenever I saw it.

Over the weeks that passed Bella decided that the best name to give it was Dom. It came from a number of conversations where I would often be a little despondent about the fact that I was spending sometimes my last bit of coin to buy food for the cat, and it would eat it and walk off. I would often feel a little rejected that the cat didn't stick around, even though I made, by this point, a really active decision to feed it the best I could.

The name came from the Michael Jackson's track "D.S."

The lyric "Dom Sheldon is a cold man" was kinda fitting to my feelings with the cat, that I would be the one that would feed it, yet also be the one that would have to watch it run away.

The shot above is the two little white plates I served food on, one was meat, one was dry food.

The plastic container was half for milk and the other half for water.

Over the period of this 365 there were a few shoots that I did out side and it was like the cat was a photographer in a past life… it would in the early days perch itself out of the back of one of the many trucks around here… just observing.

I would look back and see this little head fixed on every thing I was doing.

As time went on and I was going through a rather rough patch and couldn't see the beauty in any thing, I remember one of the shots I was not getting the right light, I was getting frustrated… and when I get frustrated I kinda like to curse.

I look over and see Dom, and there it was… sitting in the perfect sunlight to take the shot.

Like always I would thank the cat, and it would do it's thing by running away.

It was like that.

It was never touched by a human and just didn't know what to think of this 6"2" idiot gawking over it.

As time passed and I would sit outside drawing sketches it would come and sit around me.

Just staring at me.

It would always stay it's mandatory 3 feet away…

But, I would talk to it and ask it questions.

It must of thought I was a nutter.

Anyways, as time passed and I fed it and it kept me company in the only way it knew.

It began to teach me something.

It taught me that our expectations on how another person should return love, was just that, our own perceptions.

We are brought up by what ever means and along the way it is often ingrained that a certain "quid pro quo" deal comes with any relationship.

You do something, you have an expectation based on your perception of what you should receive in return.

When it fails, then you question why you continue with your deliverance actions, if your receiving expectations are not met.

Can I just say, that this is something I am learning to change in myself.

Because what we expect to get out of a relationship, can often be the demise of actually learning anything from the relationship.

I see a lot of people expecting quotas to be met, or they walk.

They have a glass and if it is not filled in the ways they like it, then they move on to someone or something that does make them feel that sense of completeness.

I learnt from my relationship from Dom, that if I was to do that and expect him to turn around and say "Ok dude, you are feeding me, I am now yours. You can call me your cat, we can pat a couple of times in the day, and then we can go about our daily lives… you know what… lets have a formulated routine… sound good?"

You know what?

No it doesn't.

How are you expected to see a person shine, a person grow, a person evolve if your preconceived expectations are placed on them?

Isn't it better to see them be themselves and you find the beauty in the structure that is the fact that you have a bond?

That you might get along in one way, and that allowing them to be themselves, helps you grow.

You see them shoot across the sky and you can say… you know what? I know that person, and I respect them to the utmost degree?

Society and what programs it doesn't teach you that. It is more of a "get what you need, or move on" sort of approach.

Well, little mate Dom, you have successfully taught me the other.

I may of never got to fall asleep whilst watching a movie and have you purring at the end of the bed.

But, your little trends and idiosyncrasies really made me happy.

When you would see the car pull in… you would lift your head, look over and give me a look that would say "I will be over when I have finished soaking in this direct sunlight".

That to me is respect.

That to me is understanding.

It is not an easy start, but by God, it pays off.

So anyways, back to the beginning

The other night I was sitting there like every night… and Dom was late.

It started to bother me, as I hadn't seen him for most part of the day, and that was a little strange… cause usually in the morning it really wanted breakfast.

After about an hour of waiting and writing some notes, I hear this clanking… I get up, and walk around looking for the noise.

It was Dom.

It was walking 3 steps and falling over.

It would get back up and walk 3 more steps and collapse.

I walked over to it…

I then noticed it had been struck by something. It's hind leg was dangling like a tea bag.

It looked up at me… and was crying.

I fed it, then wrapped it up.

For the first time it purred when I patted it.

It's swelling was getting worse.

I ran upstairs to call a vet… thinking that would be the normal thing to do.

By the time I had gotten back down, Dom was gone.

The clothe shaken off… Dom had disappeared into the night.

Never to be seen again.

I spose that's the life it knew. It was the way it knew how to deal with it's present situation.

I have to respect that.

So, this shot goes out to Dom. Thank you for all you taught me.

I miss you terribly…

but I loved that you always were yourself. You made me mad. You made me happy. You have made me sad.

You taught me a valuable lesson in understanding.

Thank you little cat.

I love you.

Ryan.

The Hill of Crosses, Lithuania by Anik Messier

1

The Hill of Crosses is a site of pilgrimage about 12 km north of the city of Šiauliai, in northern Lithuania. The precise origin of the practice of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain, but it is believed that the first crosses were placed on the former Jurgaičiai or Domantai hill fort after the 1831 Uprising. Over the centuries, not only crosses, but giant crucifixes, carvings of Lithuanian patriots, statues of the Virgin Mary and thousands of tiny effigies and rosaries have been brought here by Catholic pilgrims. The exact number of crosses is unknown, but estimates put it at about 55,000 in 1990 and 100,000 in 2006.

Vysehrad Cemetery by Neil Noland

Vysehrad Cemetery is the graveyard attached to the Basilica of Saint Peter & Saint Paul in Vysehrad (notes at the end about the Vysehrad complex).

The complex is over a thousand years old, but the cemetery was only established in 1869, which explains the newness of the headstones. It's an active cemetery, though it seems pretty packed walking around. As noted below, this could basically be seen as the Czech pantheon, given the number of notable Czechs interred here from the arts, letters, and medicine.

Among those you'll find here (that non-Czechs may recognize, by name or contribution) are: Jan Neruda (a poet, and the man from whom Pablo Neruda took his pen name), Antonin Dvorak (composer of the New World Symphony), Josef & Karel Capek (brothers, Josef created the word "robot" and Karel used it in his play R.U.R., which introduced the word to the world), Karel Ancerl (conductor of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and Toronto Symphony Orchestra), Hana Maskova (1968 bronze medalist in Olympic figure skating), and Jan Evangelista Purkyne (who, in 1839, coined the term "protoplasm"). There are many others of note, and very ornate headstones -- hence this large set. I don't intend to slight anyone, so feel free to do some research on your own if you wish.

Vysehrad is a pretty neat place to visit in Prague, in my opinion -- especially if you want to relax away from tourists.

It has a combination of things that make it wonderful for me. Its history, its current use, its location (and views it affords), and what's left on site -- taken individually, warrant a visit in my world. Collectively? Winner.

We'll start with what Vysehrad was, which involves local beliefs and legends. The (unproven) thought is that this is the original site of Prague, founded by Duke Krok in...who knows what year? Duke Krok is a myth, though may have been real. And since he's a myth, his daughters, too, are mythical. One of them is Libuse, who has a "bath" here, and she can be found in some architecture around town. I recall seeing her on a building on Karlova.

Duke Kroc was the first duke of the Czech people. Princess Libuse, the youngest (and wisest) of his three daughters later became queen and married a ploughman named Premysl, founding the Premyslid dynasty (interesting...she's royalty, he's a commoner, yet the dynasty is named for him because he's a man...yea for sexism?). The three sisters had special powers (one a healer, one a magician, and Libuse could predict the future). She prophesied the founding of Prague in the 8th century. So believe the Czechs.

What does history tell us? Well, this fortress-castle has been here for a thousand years give or take. Precise origin dates are unknown (or I can't seem to find them). One of the buildings here -- St. Martin's Chapel -- is known to have been built sometime between 1060-1090, so we can say it's conservatively a thousand years old.

Part of the fun of the legend that could support its continuing existence is its location high on a bluff directly overlooking the Vltava River. It was a perfect place to build a defensive fortress, that eventually became a royal castle. As the city grew, and Prague Castle was built, Vysehrad's importance waned.

The two castles competed (kind of) for two centuries to be the most important in Prague. The heyday for Vysehrad was in the late 11th century (when St. Martin's Chapel was built). Vratislaus II, the first king of Bohemia (until him, all were dukes or duchesses) moved his seat of power here from Prague Castle, at which point the original Vysehrad fortress received a major upgrade: a new palatial home, a church, a chapter house.

Growth continued, but only for a short time. Vratislaus's son, Duke Sobeslav (I'm not sure why he was duke, if his dad was king) moved the royal seat right on back to Prague Castle.

The death knell for Vysehrad (as a royal residence) came when Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV (yeah, the same one for whom Charles Bridge is named) renovated Prague Castle to its current dimensions. Vysehrad was abandoned. However, Charles did renew the fortifications with new gates, a royal palace (though never official seat of government), and started repairing the basilica. This was early 14th century. About a hundred years later in 1420 at the start of the Hussite War, Vysehrad was rancasked. And again, a few decades later. Finally, Vysehrad was left to ruin...

...Until the Austrians came along. Austria-Hungary gained Czech lands as a prize of the Thirty Years' War, remodeling it as a baroque fortress, to use as a training center for their troops.

The main building that dominated Vysehrad (to this day) is the Basilica of St. Peter & St. Paul. It's pretty big. Hard to miss, for sure. Like St. Martin's Chapel, it was also (originally) built in the 11th century. Unlike little St. Martin's, though, the big fella was remodeled in the late 1300s and, again, by the Austrians in 1885 & 1887. It's now a neo-Gothic church. Also dating to this baroque renovation are the Tabor and Leopold gates.

So...what do you get when come to Vysehrad now? A city park, really. It's free to come and go (though I think going inside the church may cost a little money).

The bastion walls are fantastic to take a walk around and enjoy panoramic views of every part of the city, the river, the bridges, just to reflect on the here and now, and the past. The bastions are big enough, and long enough, that you can take some time to just do that alone. There are also benches if you want to relax and enjoy the view.

Inside the fortress walls, you'll find mostly wooded land (thanks to its having been abandoned) with the aforementioned church and chapel, plus some other historic recreations, a few trails, and...well, all around, pleasant places to be. There are a handful of statues around the grounds, including Good King Wenceslaus, and Princess Libuse.

Being as that it's a church -- and a large one -- there's also a church cemetery attached directly to the side and back of it. Creatively, it's called "Vysehrad Cemetery."

As far as cemeteries go, I've been to many, and this one has some of the most interesting headstones I've seen. Not only that, as far as Czechs go, this could almost be their Pantheon. While royalty are buried elsewhere (Prague Castle, for starters), the literati all seem to be buried here -- except Kafka. He's in the New Jewish Cemetery. And, not every famous Czech is buried here, of course, but quite a few prominent ones from arts and letters are taking their dirt naps here. At the end of the day, this is a big, beautiful public park, well worth a visit, and the locals love it. This seems to be one of the places they come to celebrate New Year's Eve. I love that it's not overrun by tourists, though hope that anyone who has read this can make it there and see for yourself.

Female Allergory

Early 16th century. Marble. From the Habsburg-Este Collection

This charming sculpture with a sophisticated haristyle and finely modelled features is reminiscent of a private portrait. The "Greek" nose, however, is not typical of an individual portrait and - like the highly detailled hair - is indebted to the depictions of gods and goddesses of classical antiquity.

Thus this is most likely a decorative allegory, perhaps of one of the virtues or a personification, auch as Spring or Youth. There must have been more precise indications of the meaning on the bust, which has been lost.

Simone Bianco, zugeschrieben (1480-90 - ca. 1553), tätig in Venedig

Weibliche Allegorie

Frühes 16. Jahrhundert, Marmor. Aus der Sammlung Habsburg-Este.

Das reizvolle Bildnis mit seiner raffinierten Frisur und den fein modellierten Gesichtszügen lässt an ein Privatpoträt denken. Für eine individuelle Darstellung ist jedoch die "griechische" Nase untypisch und - wie die detailverliebte Frisur - antiken Götterdarstellungen verpflichtet. Es handelt sich daher wohl eher um eine dekorative Allegorie, vielleicht um eine Tugend oder eine Personifikation wie der Frühling oder die Jugend. Genauere Hinweise zur Deutung befanden sich zweifellos auf der heute verlorenen Büste.

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.
