The Palace of Justice in Vienna was built in 1875-1881 in Neo-Renaissance style. Especially ostentatious is the auditorium with the central main staircase and the coat of arms of the former Austrian crown lands. The Palace of Justice is located in the first district of Vienna between the Schmerlingplatz (front) and the two-line.
In the Palace of Justice are the seats of the following institutions:
Supreme Court (OGH)
General Prosecution (GP)
Oberlandesgericht Wien (Vienna Higher Regional Court)
Oberstaatsanwaltschaft Wien (Vienna OSTA)
The architect was Alexander Wielemans Monteforte, the construction manager Paul Lange and Dominik Avanzo. The two lions on the staircase and the marble statue of Justitia with gilded sword and law book
come by the South Tyrolean sculptor Emanuel Pendl.
Truly Fascinating and Beautiful!
And the bonus of almost no one there! Great work!
Here I waited until there was a person on the stairs. So far, on my visits, there have always been few people in the entrance hall. Every now and then you have to be patient. Many thanks, Frank, for your friendly comment. Greetings Herbert
Herbert A. Franke,
One more addition to the textbook of photography art form. Yet another work involving mammoth effort of processing. Am noticing in all of your work, introduction of the human element for scaling and perhaps the reminder that all this work for that same species. You usually prefer colouring their costumes in a little eye catching colours most of the time.
If architectural details and decisions lead to "busy" ambiance, it has nothing to do with photography.
Cheers !!
First of all I would like to thank you very much for your very friendly and constructive comment, Vijay Mewada. It is always important to me, when I photograph architecture, that at least one person is in the picture. Because I am of the opinion that architecture was created for people. They therefore have a right to be in the picture. If I have people in the picture, then I would like their clothing to set a colour accent to the architecture. This is not always the case, so I change the colour of the clothing so that it appears "right" for me.
I greet you warmly.
