...contraction, of elevation, of "growing pains," of terror, of playfulness, of ecstasy. Simply to turn this catalogue of seeming abstractions into something palpable and concrete and real is a measure of the extraordinary achievement of the play. The players who perform the feat are Gerry Bamman, Tom Costello, Saskia Noordhoek Hegt, Jerry Mayer, Angela Pietropinto and Larry Pine. To single out one would be to slight...
...Baroque 18th century Zwinger (literally, the Keep). In 1946, 150 master stonemasons went to work; it took them 16 years to complete the job. Alongside the Zwinger, Semper's famous Gemaldegalerie (Art Gallery) once again exhibits Raphael's Sistine Madonna, twelve Rembrandts (including his Portrait of Saskia), 1 6 Rubenses, five Titians and two Vermeers. Gaetano Chiaveri's Baroque 18th century Hofkirche (Court Church) is finished and used regularly for Catholic services. The old Landhaus (Statehouse), an imposing mansion reminiscent of Versailles, has been turned into a museum (see color pag?). The exquisite Kronentor (Crown Gate...
...days. Fortnight ago at London's Christie's, his son, Titus, brought the second-largest price of any painting ever auctioned (only $64,000 less than the Metropolitan's $2,300,000 Aristotle). Last week, at the rival auction house of Sotheby & Co., his plump wife, Saskia as Minerva, brought $350,000, followed by a stunning study of an old man from the collection of U.S. Tin Plate Magnate William B. Leeds, which was knocked down for $392,000. Titus had given Christie's an alltime auction record of $3,321,581; the two Rembrandts helped...
...Aristotle, it is a painting rich in charm, warm with sentiment. It shows an angelic child dressed in a grey-brown tunic and wearing a yellow cap topped with red and yellow plumes. Theatrical? Yes. But Rembrandt had reason for wanting to please the lad. His mother, Saskia, had died, and the servant girl Hendrickje Stoffels had only recently entered the house to care for him. To Rembrandt, his son Titus had become every bit a prince, and should be painted that...
...three Rembrandts given to the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford (see overleaf) show a moody trio. The young artist is lost to everything but his own thoughts. The gentle Saskia shows two complementary aspects of Rembrandt: the artist who could look into his wife's mind and yet remain fascinated by the texture of her heavily embroidered gown. The brooding landscape displays Rembrandt's vision of landscape as a wide stage on which the drama of nature is acted-trees pitted against sky, light battling with shadow, serenity threatened by a gathering storm...
