Ask us for options. The Befreiungshalle ("Hall of Liberation") is a neoclassical monument on the Michelsberg hill above the town of Kelheim in Bavaria, Germany. It stands upstream of Regensburg on the river Danube at the confluence of the Danube and the Altmühl, i.e. the Rhine-Main–Danube Canal. It is just downstream of the Danube Gorge, towering above its lower end. It was commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to commemorate the victory over Napoleon in the Befreiungskriege of 1813–1815. Massimo Listri is an Italian photographer best known for his large-scale images of majestic, empty interior spaces. In his photographs of castles, abandoned houses, libraries, cathedrals, and theaters, Listri often symmetrically composes the space in order to lead the eye into the framed pictorial space. In his balanced compositions, the artist captures a sense of awe while celebrating the intricacy of grand architecture. Born in 1953 in Florence, Italy, Listri began taking photographs at a young age. In 1981, he helped found FMR magazine and went on to publish his own work in numerous architectural books. The artist’s works have been exhibited in the Morgan Library and Museum in New York, the Museum of Modern Art in Bogota, the Vatican Museum in Rome, and the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art, among others. Listri lives and works in Florence, Italy.
