Published<\/strong>: 2019, Sinaia<\/em> April 20, 2019 marked the 180th anniversary of the birth of Prince Karl Eitel Friedrich Zephyrinus Ludwig von Hohenzollern Sigmaringen in Sigmaringen Castle (Germany) in 1839. He was the first king of modern Romania, to whose development he made an essential contribution. He was very proud of his ancestors, whom he portrayed in the Hall of Honor of Pele\u0219 Castle, trying to create a gallery of ancestors in his residence, as he had seen in his childhood and youth spent at his family's castle in Sigmaringen. "The fact that he was among the Hohenzollerns - wrote his first biographer, Paul Lindenberg - always filled him with fully justified pride, but precisely for this reason he wanted to conquer by his own strength and as a result of his baggage of knowledge and skills the place that other princes consider as something that is simply theirs. This explains much of the mentality of the young prince, as well as the later development of the prince and king, who constantly imposed the highest demands on himself and who, in his soldierly simplicity, repeatedly explained: 'What a man can do himself, he should not let be done by another'".<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: 2019, Sinaia<\/em> This study represents an exhibition catalogue dedicated to the ceramics and glass collection of the Pele\u0219 National Museum. The ceramics collection includes over 5,000 pieces.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: 2017, Sinaia<\/em> The study provides a series of specialized information on the Flemish and Dutch art collection of King Charles I. The collection includes paintings, goldsmith's goods, a harpsichord, furniture, and ceramics.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: 2016, Sinaia<\/em> The Art Nouveau style defined both the end and the beginning of a century, giving personality to an era and encompassing all artistic genres related to the external or internal environment. Queen Elisabeth and especially Queen Maria of Romania completed the collection of the Royal House, initially established by King Carol I, with important acquisitions of Art Nouveau pieces, happily reunited at Peli\u015for Castle in Sinaia.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: September 2013, Sinaia<\/em> Art and Ceremoniality at Royal Tables introduces us to the daily life of the royal families of Romania from 1866 to 1930, Carol I and Elisabeta, Ferdinand and Maria, from Pele\u015f Castle, Peli\u015for Castle and the Royal Palaces of Bucharest. Exemplary in his honesty and very demanding of himself, King Carol I of Romania led an almost austere life. Interestingly, in his personal life, the king behaved naturally, as a man with a passion for collecting, sensitive to art and the beauties of nature, with unsophisticated culinary preferences and offering hospitality to the personalities invited to Pele\u015f Castle.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: December 2014, Sinaia<\/em> This year marks a century since the historical moment when Romania decided its pre-war orientation, through the voice of its politicians. Freed from the barriers imposed by the old regime, eternally sensitive to Moscow's sensitivities, an important part of the historiography of the last decades frames the Crown Council of August 3, 1914, in a broader context, which does not avoid the counterfactual approach and which is based on extensive archival documentation.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: August 2014, Sinaia<\/em> The phenomenon of copying can be understood from a contemporary perspective as a historicist approach, in which the fascination of the past speaks for itself. In the absence of famous originals, copies after great masters were intended to give the royal residence a sumptuous character and to contribute to aesthetic education in an era when color reproduction did not yet exist. Operated by Carol I, the selection of works to be copied reflected the King's preferences for religious subjects. An educational tool, with valences for decorating the castle interiors, the copy acquires a documentary value, attesting to a very good knowledge on the part of the commissioner of the history of European painting present in the great museums.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: June 2014, Sinaia<\/em> Sinaia Castles thus become a place of interference of the arts where, alongside young classical music performers, the young winners of this competition have the opportunity to exhibit. Now in its third edition, the event was received with great seriousness by young people aged between 7 and 29, with 152 entries with 760 works. The jury was faced with a real challenge, evaluating the works submitted online for the four disciplines.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: June 2014, Sinaia<\/em> The works at Balchik were carried out by the Italian firms Fabro Agostino (public works contractor) and Giovanni Tomasini (mosaic, cement and asphalt works), under the direct supervision of the Queen's private secretary, Gaetan Denize. After his sudden death in 1928, the duties fell to Eugen Zwiedineck, Queen Maria's aide and private secretary.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: May 2013, Sinaia<\/em> The year 2013 is dedicated to the affirmation of students in grades V-XII from national schools with an art profile, passionate about drawing, painting, engraving, sculpture and photography, with 100 participants registering, with 500 works. The competition was received with great seriousness by the students, and the jury evaluated the works sent online and particularly appreciated the technique, chromatics and thematics of this year's works, even awarding the Grand Prize for engraving.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: April 2013, Sinaia<\/em> Italian furniture will be present through Florentine cassone, cabinets, Lombard and Savonarolla chairs, wardrobes, Venetian and Tuscan armchairs, ranging from the 16th century to the end of the 19th century, with an important role in the arrangement of the neo-Renaissance environment of the royal residence in Sinaia. But above all, the color, richness and interior atmosphere of the salons of yesteryear will define the harmony and grandeur of Italian art.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: December 2012, Sinaia<\/em> A receipt signed by Joseph Kott, regarding the decoration of the small theatre: the frieze and ceiling painting and a series of copies for the Great Hall, paintings for which he received the sum of 1,886 florins. Considering that the decoration of the Theatre Hall was made, according to the signatures on the works, by Gustav Klimt and Franz Matsch, it is plausible that K\u00fcnstler-Compagnie worked with Joseph Kott's firm. Two other customs receipts are added, proving that Gustav Klimt and Franz Matsch, in 1885 and Ernst Klimt, in 1886, deposited crates of paintings at the customs point of a Vienna train station to be shipped to Pele\u015f Castle.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: September 2012, Sinaia<\/em> Founded on December 3, 1901, by a group of artists, "Tinerimea" was the longest-lived and most coherent artistic construction in Romania in the first half of the 20th century. Influenced by Western artistic models, Kimon Loghi, Ipolit Str\u00e2mbu, Gheorghe Petra\u015fcu, \u015etefan Popescu and Frederic Storck formed an artistic nucleus, around which all the artistic personalities of the era gravitated: Constantin Artachino, Arthur Verona, Nicolae Vermont, \u015etefan Luchian, Nicolae Grant, Micaela Eleutheriade, Marius Bunescu, etc.<\/p>\n Published<\/strong>: May 2012, Sinaia<\/em>
