Temple of Arts latest documentary of Leonardo da Vinci.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , .

The Lost Leonardo can be seen in the Hungarian cinemas from June, 29, 2023.

Robb Report’s crime-thriller film is about the vomiting of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting Salvator Mundi, which was believed to be lost forever. Around 1500, when the painting was created, Leonardo was almost 50 years old. He is the world’s most famous visual artist. There is an assumption that it could have been made for an outstanding art patron. He worked with first-class ingredients; and surface treated; which was rare. He began many pictures and left almost as many unfinished; but he finished that.

The fate of the tableau remained unclear for a hundred years, until it appeared in the collection of the English ruler Charles I, who, when he died in debt, the Crown decided to sell a large part of his art collection in order to pay off his debts. He goes to a stonemason – in today’s terms an architect – John Stone, in exchange for his unpaid work. 9 years later, during the restoration of the monarchy, when II. Károly ascends the throne, the parliament passes a bill that reclaims for the Crown the assets that were given to the sons of the common people as compensation for the debt of Károly I. Thus, the painting II. It enters Károly’s collection, then passes to his younger brother, II. Jakabra. From him to Jakab’s lover, Catherine Sedley, with whom he also has an illegitimate son. Catherine marries the first Duke of Buckingham, the builder of Buckingham House. The palace is sold by the heirs, it is known today as Buckingham Palace. In 1763, when the palace was purchased for the Crown, the furnishings were auctioned off. Then it disappears from our sight for hundreds of years.

We don’t know anything about it. Leonardo was sold as a painting, but for an insignificant sum. Therefore, we assume that they could have been heavily overpainted by this time! In 1763, we lose sight of it, until the XIX. until the end of the century, when it became the property of a famous English art collector, Francis Cook. But at that time it was already on the market as a Leonardo copy or a work made in the style of Leonardo. The topcoat layers are quite thick! It was reworked to make it more masculine because it probably suited the 19th century. century public taste. It remained a mediocre item in the Cook collection until 1958… when it changed hands at London’s Sotheby’s auction house for £45. We know he found an American buyer. It remains in the possession of American collectors until 2005, when it is auctioned again, for a similarly low price, because it is believed to be a Louisiana copy. In November 2017, Christie’s sold Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi to a Saudi prince for a record $450,312,500. It is currently in long-term deposit at the Louvre in Abu Dhabi.

This is not just a portrait of Jesus Christ commissioned by a king! This tableau reflects Leonardo’s thinking about painting techniques and time, eternity, and the universe.

The lost Leonardo can be seen in Hungarian cinemas from June, 29, 2023.

Silk fabrics and velvets 16th and 17th-century aristocratic textiles from the collection of the Museum of Applied Arts – Budapest will be shipped and opens at an exhibition at the City of Hangzhou in the Chinese State Silk Museum.

The most important raw material of textile art is silk, which, due to its value, also played a significant role in the history of Hungarian textile art. Since there was no independent silk industry, since the 11th century, in Hungary, expensive foreign silk fabrics were used for decorative clothing and church regalia that corresponded to the taste of the time. Byzantine from the 11th century, from the 12th to the 15th From the 19th century, we preserve Hungarian church vestments and mass vestments (casula) made of Italian silk fabrics, secular vestments from this period have not survived. In the 16th century, as a result of the Ottoman-Turkish conquest, Hungary was divided into three parts, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Principality of Transylvania and the conquered territory in the middle.

When selecting the material for the treasury focused on artefacts made from the most valuable silk fabrics of the period in such a way that the 16th-17th century by exhibiting objects representing the lifestyle of Hungarian aristocrats in the 19th century, we will also provide an insight into the history of the Hungarian holidays, fashion, housing culture and warfare of the time. In addition to the costumes worn by the male members of the Esterházy family and preserved as relics, tapestries also made of special silk fabric, as well as ceremonial costumes and decorative weapons used on festive occasions – accompanied by decorative weapons – will be presented.

In the eastern part of the country, in the territory of the Principality of Transylvania, which was a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire, many valuable Turkish silk fabrics and silk kaftans (hil’at) were brought to the territory of the Principality of Transylvania in the 16th and 17th centuries through its trade and diplomatic relations. during the century. The western, north-western part of the country under the authority of the Habsburg Empire and at war with the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Hungary, was ruled by palatines (palatinus) elected by the Hungarian orders. Palatines and other lords of the Kingdom of Hungary bought silk primarily in Vienna or Italy in the 16th and 17th centuries. century and their costumes were made from Italian, less often Spanish or French silk fabrics, but Ottoman-Turkish and Persian Safavid fabrics were also highly valued. The written sources of the period, dowry registers and inheritance inventories list many women’s and men’s costumes made of valuable silk fabric from this period, but only a few of them have survived in Hungary, which was hit by wars over the centuries. These include the textile ensemble of the treasury of the Palatines of Hungary, Count Miklós Esterházy (1583-1645) and his son Prince-Nádor Pál Esterházy (1635-1713), on the basis of which we can learn about the 16th-17th centuries. the magnificence of the luxurious costumes, tapestries, tablecloths, horse equipment and gun holsters of the 19th century Hungarian nobility. The textile relics of the treasury are kept by the Budapest Museum of Applied Arts, and although the II. The collection suffered severe damage during the Second

World War, and thanks to the careful restoration work of the past decades, they once again represent the wealth of the former Hungarian nobility’s collections in a dignified manner.

Saturday Night Live wasn’t a live broadcast … but indeed was Live Barrel Pig exclusive VIP beer night!

 As the night slowly appeared, the guests arrived for an exclusive beer tasting to the new series of HopTop unique beers. It was held in the tasting room of the wonderful wine shop of WineHub. Were able to taste continuously  6+1  beers, but may also tasted 3 special IPA beers as to warm-up ourselves.  The premium beers selection were terrific: Surprise beer – Rudeboy – Sex on the barrel – Fear of the dark II. – Canadian Lover – Fear of the dark I. – Mental trainer.

Unfortunately, Ali Rawech Szami – owner of the HopTop brewery had to leave earlier. We, the audience heard interesting facts about the Barrel Pig beer from László Szilágyi – head of marketing.  Ádám  – brewing masters. Talked about the special flavors given from the wooden barrels.  During the ongoing tasting were initiated about the Barrel Pig project and overall made the audience spice up a bit with the features of the new series as introducing the 6 items for tasting. As it turned out, they had been at the brewery continuously tasting  from the start of the first barrel-aged beer and its flavors for a year.

Each of the HopTop beers are matured in a special barrel. The whiskey barrels bought from abroad gave the taste to these special new beers. Indeed … no wonder the resulted superb beers. For each batch, the Barrel Pig is aged from the aroma and flavor gained from the previous life of the wooden barrel.  There are rum, bourbon, whiskey and even maple syrup barrels. Within these the aromas extracted from different barrels that can be tasted the characteristics of dark chocolate combined with soft-creamy and vanilla notes.

What really dominates are Imperial Milk Stouts and Multigrain Barley casks. Imperial stouts with the unicorn pig barrel logo and a barley wine rested primarily in the Kentucky Bourbon barrels, maple syrup barrels and a Barbadian rum barrel. The beer called Sex on the Barrel kept various periods of time and bottled when deemed appropriate. There is no addition to the beers. The outwardly look shows something different by the color of the cap draining wax.  Stands as a crown making it truly special and elegant.   Mouthwatering were the sublime fruity and spicy flavors.  These HopTop beers really deserve to be served outstandingly and now reached their best form.

Going to another level and watching with high eyebrows  – shining eyes came to be really in the mood to the mental training taste. Indeed looked as all liked what tasted. Was told next we are tasting the Milk Imperial Stout (11.8%), which was aged for 1 year in a Kentucky Bourbon barrel to extract all the aromas from it. The end result was a real, creamy Mental Trainer! The reason why the “Milk” stand on some of the beer label is a reminder for those to know it is not lactose free!

At the Winehub which gave the platform to the exclusive beer tasting is an awesome wine shop which is usually operating as a bistro.

Entering their store sight catching venue welcome the visitors. The guests were perfectly cared and led to the tasting tables by  Péter Lakatos – experienced Sommelier with a demonstrated history of working in the wine and spirits industry. Heard about the enormous  “plant” one the spot where more than 500 wines from nearly 60 Hungarian and foreign wineries were out on display. The wine center is also unique on an international level.  May connect all players of wine making and the wine world without restrictions. They provide countless services that are not too much different on the Hungarian wine market. They are wholesale partners, but in their wine center they also offer tasting rooms, meeting rooms and special sales points. They pay attention to the wine-drinking community. They offer much more than an online and offline wine space. In addition to their wine shop and web shop, they welcome guests with continuous training, courses, tasting events, tasting rooms.
