About the Item

Galerie d' Anatomie Comparée Paris, France, 2019 128 x 225 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 Galerie d' Anatomie Comparée in Paris is part of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle and is housed in a magnificent building, 80 meters long, inaugurated in 1898. The result is a building that meets the scientific, educational and museographic requirements from Albert Gaudry, professor of paleontology, Georges Pouchet, professor of comparative anatomy, and Ferdinand Dutert, talented architect, used to worked together. Cut stones and bricks decorate the metal framework, bay windows and stained-glass windows provide the necessary light, wooden floors and landings embellish the whole, sculptures and high reliefs by artists such as Fremiet or Barrias decorate the exterior of the building. In this Art Nouveau ambience, the visitor is guided through the fascinating spectacle of the worlds of ‘yesterday’s’ and ‘today.’ As soon as you cross the threshold of the gallery, the collection unfolds a herd of large land and water vertebrates. Remarkable species such as a whale nearly 20 meters long can be seen here, as well as Steller's rhytine (sea cow), extinct since 1768, or the marsupial wolf, extinct since 1936. Also, the elephant of Louis XIV and the rhinoceros of Louis XV are on display. 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, Los Angeles, London, Saint Tropez, Amsterdam, Madrid.

Philosophical Hall
By Christian Voigt
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.
