Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
The German city of Weimar, home to illustrious Renaissance and Baroque artists such as Cranach and Bach, became a major place of pilgrimage in the 18th century. With her famous library and with distinguished literary circles, Duchess Anna Amalia laid the foundations for the flourishing of literary expression in the city. Her son, Duke Karl August, called Herder, Goethe and Schiller to his court. With them, Weimar became the center of German intellectual life, the "city of poets and thinkers"--a reputation Weimar has nurtured to the present day. For her libraries project, Candida Hofer photographed the Duchess Anna Amalia Library in 2004. Shortly afterwards it fell victim to a fire. In summer 2006, she focused on historic interior spaces: the Goethe National Museum, the Residential Palace and other castles, as well as various theaters. Hofer's photographic style perfectly captures Weimar's special aura. Her strictly composed pictures seem to contain the spirit of the Enlightenment.

From the publisher: "In the 18th century, Weimar, which in Renaissance and Baroque times had already been host to illustrious guests such as Lucas Cranach and Bach, emerged as the definitive destination for the great and famous. Duchess Anna Amalia established her renowned library and literary circles featured the very best minds of the day, laying the foundations for the myth that surrounds the city to this day. Her son, Duke Carl August, persuaded Herder, Goethe, and Schiller to join his court, making Weimer the absolute focus of German intellectual life, the 'city of poets and thinkers'. It is a reputation Weimar continued to nurture through the 20th century to the present day. As part of her major project on libraries, in 2004 Candida Höfer.first photographed the Anna Amalia Library, which only a few months later fell victim to a fire. In summer 2006, on behalf of the Weimar Klassik Stiftung, she scouted for further locations in Weimar. Once again, she focused on interiors with a great past -- this time primarily with a neoclassicist background: Goethe's home on Frauenplan, the Residence Palace and Belvedere Castle, Wittumspalais, the theaters in Kochberg and Bad Lauchstädt, and the German National Theater. The special aura of the city was to the benefit of Candida Höfer's photographic style. We can truly sense the spirit of the Enlightenment in her strictly composed images of bright halls, sets of rooms and museum interiors, all bereft of human life." Signed by Author.
