Paumgartner-Altar
Paumgartner-Altar (Paumgartner altarpiece) by Albrecht Dürer, 1497
Alte Pinakothek
Barer Straße
Munich, March 2004
“The Paumgartner altarpiece (c. 1500) is an early triptych painting by Albrecht Dürer, commissioned by the Paumgartner family of Nuremberg. The central panel depicts a nativity scene, while the wings depict Saint George (left) and Saint Eustace (right). The saint's faces are donor portraits of the brothers Stephan and Lukas Paumgartner, respectively. Other members of the Paumgartner family are depicted as small figures in the center panel. In 1616 the painting was bought by Maximilian I, Elector of Bavaria and taken to Munich. There it was altered to suit 17th century tastes. This entailed adding helmets, horses, and landscape backgrounds to the portraits of the saints and painting over the small donor figures in the center panel. These embellishments were removed by restorators in 1903. On 20 April 1988, the Paumgartner altarpiece was one of three paintings at the Alte Pinakothek that were attacked with concentrated sulfuric acid by the serial art vandal Hans-Joachim Bohlmann.[4] It alone suffered at least $12 million worth of damage. After 21 years of restoration, it was returned to display in 2010.” (Paumgartner altarpiece, Wikipedia)

Wittelsbacherbrunnen (Wittelsbach Fountain)
Lenbachplatz
Munich, March 2004
“The Wittelsbacher fountain is a neoclassical monument located in Maximiliansplatz in the center of Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It was created between 1893 and 1895, with design by sculptor Adolf von Hildebrand and with the help of sculptor Erwin Kurz. His subject is an allegory on the primal forces of the element water. With its calm and clear design, and also from the urban point of view, the fountain is considered an accomplished artistic installation of the Bavarian capital.” (Lenbachplatz, Wikipedia)
