Palace & Garden of Schonbrunn, a photo from Vienna, East

Photographer's Note

From the 18th century to 1918, Schonbrunn was the residence of the Habsburg emperors. It was designed by the architects Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and Nicolaus Pacassi and is full of outstanding examples of decorative art. Together with its gardens, the site of the world's first zoo in 1752, it is a remarkable Baroque ensemble and a perfect example of Gesamtkunstwerk (Total work of Art).

The site of the Palace & Gardens of Schonbrunn is outstanding as one of the most impressive and well preserved Baroque ensembles of its kind in Europe. Additionally, it is a potent material symbol of the power and influence of the House of Habsburg over a long period of European history, from the end of the 17th to the early 20th century.

It is impossible to separate the gardens from the palace, of which they form and organic extension: this is an excellent example of the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk, a masterly fusion of many art forms.

Hello Zbigniew,

The gardens, which grace the f/g, are beautifully patterned and manicured. They definitely seem as formal and organised as the facade of the palace.
You have done well to include so much detail and keep the photograph sharp.
The small figures confirm the massive scale of the whole.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Zbigniew,
You show the famous palace very well. You had a nice and higher vantage point, which offers a great overview of the flowers in the gardens. The pink and red tones stand out well from the green grass. Well done.

Czesc Zbigniew,
bardzo oryginalnie przyciales ten palac, w ten sposob bardziej skupieni jestesmy na ogrodzie ktory pewnie czesto umyka uwagi kiedy zdjecie jest skomponowane centralnie.
Piekne miejsce, bardzo elegancka architektura. Ogrod robi niesamowite wrazenie. Mialem przyjemnosc tam spacerowac ale nie mam zadnej fotograficznej pamiatki.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M
