Richard-Wagner-Straße (Munich)
The Richard-Wagner-Straße is a street in the Bavarian state capital Munich. It is named after the composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883), who lived in the vicinity of Brienner Straße 37 in 1864-65. Location The short street was built in 1897 in the course of the planned development of Maxvorstadt and forms part of the large right-angled street system of this district. It leads from Brienner Straße in the north-east direction to Gabelsbergerstraße. At about the half way point, it curves. History The houses of the street were built between 1899 and 1906 mostly designed by the architect Leonhard Romeis (1854-1904). In his design, he cited various architectural periods, keeping in mind the taste of late historicism, to give the impression of a grown street. The rich structure of the houses, which is still largely preserved today, creates a particularly picturesque, self-contained area, which stands under monument protection as an ensemble. The eleven preserved historic building ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Richard Wagner
Wilhelm Richard Wagner ( ; ; 22 May 181313 February 1883) was a German composer, theatre director, polemicist, and conductor who is chiefly known for his operas (or, as some of his mature works were later known, "music dramas"). Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto and the music for each of his stage works. Initially establishing his reputation as a composer of works in the romantic vein of Carl Maria von Weber and Giacomo Meyerbeer, Wagner revolutionised opera through his concept of the '' Gesamtkunstwerk'' ("total work of art"), by which he sought to synthesise the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, with music subsidiary to drama. He described this vision in a series of essays published between 1849 and 1852. Wagner realised these ideas most fully in the first half of the four-opera cycle '' Der Ring des Nibelungen'' (''The Ring of the Nibelung''). His compositions, particularly those of his later period, are notable for their complex textur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Historicism (art)
Historicism or historism (german: Historismus) comprises artistic styles that draw their inspiration from recreating historic styles or imitating the work of historic artisans. Lucie-Smith, Edward. ''The Thames and Hudson Dictionary of Art Terms''. London: Thames & Hudson, 1988, p. 100. This is especially prevalent in architecture, such as Revival architecture. Through a combination of different styles or implementation of new elements, historicism can create completely different aesthetics than former styles. Thus, it offers a great variety of possible designs. Overview In the history of art, after Neoclassicism which in the Romantic era could itself be considered a historicist movement, the 19th century included a new historicist phase characterized by an interpretation not only of Greek and Roman classicism, but also of succeeding stylistic eras, which were increasingly respected. In particular in architecture and in the genre of history painting, in which historica ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
