Reinhard Görner, Château de Fontainbleue II Library, France

2018

About the Item

Reinhard Görner Château de Fontainbleue II Library France 50" x 50" Edition of 10 $6,000 60" x 60" Edition of 7 $9,000 70" x 70" Edition of 5 $11,000 signed and numbered on label, verso Reinhard Görner, with his large format photographs orchestrates the monumentality of historical architecture, gardens, and masterpieces. An active architecture photographer since 1985, is a master of perspectives and precise spatial compositions, and he thus considers classical sculpture, in all of its possible facets, a special challenge. "Görner’s photographs sometimes open the doors to another world and take the viewer with them on a journey through time. Here the palace is no longer a museum but both royal residence and a site steeped in history. The viewer does not have to share the halls with the masses of visitors; instead the images offer him exclusive impressions of the Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors) and the Galerie des Batailles (Hall of Battles) as even the king of France was probably never granted. The halls are empty of people, yet they seem to be able to unfurl their individual characters of their own accord. These places practically breathe history, and this aspect is also part of the essence captured in the photographs. King Wilhelm of Prussia was named German Emperor Wilhelm I in the Hall of Mirrors after France was defeated in 1870–1871 in the Franco-German War. The Treaty of Versailles following World War I was also signed there in 1919. In this sense, the architectural photographs of Versailles’s ceremonial rooms have an edge on Renaissance paintings; here even a sense of world history arises within the viewer – one which continues to exert an influence today".

  • Great Minds, Duchess Anna Amalia Library, Weimar, Germany
    By Reinhard Görner
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Reinhard Görner 'Great Minds' Duchess Anna Amalia Library Weimar, Germany 55 x 50 inches ed. of 10 $6,000 66 x 60 inches ed. of 7 $9,000 77 x 70 inches ed. of 5 $11,000 signed and numbered on label, verso In this luminous photograph by Reinhard Görner, the Duchess Anna Amalia Library in Weimar is immortalized as a temple of enlightenment and beauty. This image captures the Rococo elegance of the library, a radiant jewel in the crown of Weimar's cultural heritage. The graceful curves of the library's architecture are highlighted by the crisp white and gold adornments that accent the celestial blue backdrop. The eye is drawn to the grandeur of the central walkway, flanked by marble busts of historical luminaries, standing as silent custodians of wisdom. Portraits of intellectual giants grace the walls, their gazes cast across the polished wooden floors that lead visitors through the annals of history and thought. Görner’s photograph is not merely a depiction of a space but an invitation to traverse the corridors of knowledge. It is an exquisite acquisition for collectors and aficionados of historical libraries, fine art, and those who cherish the legacy of the European Age of Enlightenment. The Duchess Anna Amalia Library, with its vast collection of literature and fine art, is captured here in a moment of stillness—timeless and commanding. This photograph is a celebration of Weimar's intellectual and aesthetic spirit, offering a piece of history to those who aspire to surround themselves with the grandeur of the past.
