Lapidarium: The Secret Lives of Stones

Product Information

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together. In 1995, the Lapidarium was placed in the top ten of most beautiful exhibitions in Europe in an international competition. Rococo is represented before all by a set of allegorical statues from the garden of a summer palace America projected by Kilian Ignac Dienzenhofer. Statues made by Ignac Platzer originate from the Palais Kinsky in Prague.

Together these corpora are vital in understanding the medieval fabric of the Cathedral and Cloisters. The west triforium passage of the Nave North Aisle is largely composed of other Romanesque architectural fragments from the west façade replaced during the insertion of the Great West Window. Scaffolding along the north side of the Cathedral in recent years has provided once-in-a-lifetime access for recording. The Nave north and south walls incorporate fragments of former Romanesque windows and the Perpendicular clerestory features dozens of shaft drums reused from the former Romanesque clerestory. Dozens of marble sculptural fragments from the twelfth-century cloisters are reused in the external facing of the Old Deanery, accessed using the 10m aerial-work-platform funded by the Friends in 2007 and still going strong! Together with the Lapidarium collection, this sizeable database is now available online in 3D (via www.rochestercathedral.org/lapidarium), preserving and opening these collections for further study as we piece together our understanding of the medieval Cathedral.The plaster and stone statues once stood in gardens, squares and palaces belonging to the kings of Denmark. Judah has taken 60 stones, some as precious as rubies and sapphires, some as unglamorous as granite and millstone grit, sub-dividing them into six sections – stones as symbols of power, stones used in sacred ceremonies, stones that find themselves a place in great literary works, stones associated with industry and technology, stones that have been shaped, sculptured and formed either by artists or the natural world, and stones as living entity, investigating such topics as mountain and cliff erosion, volcanic activity creating new islands and changing the landscape, loss of biodiversity as coastal reefs are replaced by concrete barriers, and the disturbing understanding that our plastic debris, discarded mobile phone components, batteries and other durable ephemera are already undergoing striking transformations in the anthropocene to become the fossils of the future. Here's the thing: I wanted to be able to come away from each chapter able to say a couple of sentences about each stone, but this book will leave you with a half–remembered sentence on someone who owned the stone in a century you probably won't remember. It's just a wholly unbalanced book. I wanted to love it – I think there should be loads of books encouraging us to reconnect with the natural world, to come away with some general knowledge about our planet and our surroundings and how it's shaped human civilisation at large. These tales do none of this. They're much too niche, poorly pulled together and not particularly interesting. As much as I liked the Rani of Kapurthala's crescent-shaped emerald, I really can't say I know anything about emeralds in general after reading this book. And that was one of my favourite chapters.

Monuments of the Austrian emperors: Equestrian statue of Francis I and standing figure of Franz Joseph I were cast from brass for public spaces, as well as the monument of Field Marshal Joseph V. Radetzky von Radeč. Many of these monuments came to the Lapidarium after the World War I when reminders of the old Austro-Hungarian monarchy were removed from public space by the new republican authorities. Anneliese Arnold, wife of Dean John Arnold (1978-1989), noted that despite Payne's efforts the majority of fragments had since been scattered again, a few preserved elsewhere in the cathedral, but many ‘simply piled up on a ledge inside the ruined Chapter House, exposed to the weather. Some of the best have disappeared, doubtless taken as souvenirs or ornaments.’ Following discussions with Cathedral Architect Emil Godfrey in 1981 Arnold established the Lapidarium in a chamber over the east of the North Quire Transept.

She breaks down the history of each individual stone and how it’s impacted the human race through history. We interweave them in our mythology. They become a medium for our artwork generation after generation. Our advancement as a species came about by forging stone tools even now the Industrial Revolution was possible because of coal.

V roce 1995 vmezinárodní soutěži bylo Lapidárium zařazeno mezi deset nejkrásnějších muzejních expozic vEvropě. På kirkegårdene ses tit udvalgte bevaringsværdige sten samlet i en slags udendørs museum, men mange steder er det blot alle gravsten fra nedlagte grave samlet eet sted på kirkegården, hvilket så også er et lapidarium omend mere uformelt. You could almost say a lapidarium is a museum or storage building for stone and plaster sculptures. Is The Lapidarium of Kings in Copenhagen Worth Visiting?
