About the Item

ARMERIA REALE Turin, Italy - 2023 132 x 200 cm (52" x 78.7") Edition size: 12 Light jet, exposure on high glossy paper and aluminum dibond Distance Frame, Tulipwood, Lacquered Matt Black, Museum Glass included Armeria Reale: Palazzo Reale, Torino The Armeria Reale Museum is dedicated to antique weaponry. The armoury was set up by King Charles Albert and inaugurated in 1837. It is in the magnificent Queen’s Gallery, decorated between 1738 and 1742 by the court painter Claudio Francesco Beaumont. The creation of the museum is due to Vittorio Seyssel D’Aix, artillery captain and first director of the armoury, who gathered works from the arsenals of Turin and Genoa, from collections of antiquities, and from prestigious collections purchased on the antiques market, such as the collection of Alessandro Sanquirico (1833) from Milan and the collection of the Martinengo della Fabbrica (1839) from Brescia. In 1842, an expansion of the museum took place in the Rotunda designed by Pelagio Palagi. This space was conceived to house more recent collections, such as the Oriental weapons collection. With the beginning of the Republic in 1946, the Armoury, until then under the Ministry of the Royal Household, became a state museum. The collection has more than five thousand works ranging from Prehistory to the early 20th century and includes the Royal Medal Hall, with more than 60,000 pieces including ancient and modern coins, medals and seals. Artist Bio: Born in Munich, Germany, Christian Voigt lives and works in Hamburg and The South of France. His current studio is situated in Hamburg. Christian Voigt works with large-format cameras, both digital and analogue. He experiments with new camera techniques and makes the best use of the digital medium. In the museum edition, his large-format pictures can measure as much as eight meters in width. But his strictly limited editions also come in sizes which customers and collectors can hang on walls of more modest sizes. Christian Voigt has developed a language capable of telling new stories. He continually works to refine a pictorial idiom, the stories he wants to tell, the feelings he convey. This is visible in his pictures; Landscape and architecture are his principal areas of interest, but he also does portraits and nudes. The travels associated with his projects and places call for concentration, for the ability to get to grips with people, with their history and their religion. "My pictures are created with the camera, not on the computer," he says, with a reference to the complicated technology and processing that goes into his creations. "But without the computer technology of today, the pictures couldn’t be crafted into their final form." Solo shows and Art Fairs have been staged in Basel, Hamburg, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Saint Tropez, Amsterdam, and Madrid.

Philosophical Hall

Located in Chicago, IL
Philosophical Hall Strahov Monastery, Prague, Czech Republic, Prague, 2015 157 x 224 cm Edition size: 12 Light jet, exposure on high glossy paper and aluminum dibond Framed with tulipwood, distance framing, and a UV 99 museum glass. The Monastery of the Premonstratensian Order at Strahov in Prague has a history reaching back to the 12th century and is a listed National Cultural Monument of the Czech Republic. The monastery was founded during the reign of King Vladislav II on the impetus of the Bishop of Olomouc Jindřich Zdík. The monastery acquired its current Baroque appearance in the years between 1671 and 1674, when an extensive rebuilding was carried out according to design by the architect Giovanni Domenico Orsi. Additional alterations were carried out in 1742 by the architect-builder Anselmo Lurago. The beginnings of today’s library of the Strahov monastery can be placed in the era of Giovanni Domenico Orsi’s rebuilding work. Visitors to the Philosophical Hall are immediately drawn to the painting on its ceiling titled, “The Spiritual Progress of Mankind” by the artist Franz Anton Maulbertsch, who was assisted by his pupil Martin Michl. The artist worked on the painting from April till October 1794. The book collection of the Philosophical Hall library contains works on history, theology, poetry and liturgical texts.
