Die St.Galler Corona-Bibel

Damit wir in der Zeit der Corona-Krise miteinander verbunden bleiben, schreiben wir jeweils ein Kapitel aus der Bibel mit unserer Handschrift ab. Daraus entsteht die St.Galler Corona-Bibel, die der Stiftsbibliothek übergeben und dort als Zeichen der Hoffnung und Verbundenheit und als Zeitzeugnis aufbewahrt wird.

In einer festlichen Dankesfeier, zu der wir öffentlich einladen, wird die St.Galler Corona-Bibel nach überstandener Krise der Stiftsbibliothek übergeben. Dort soll sie als ermutigendes Zeichen der Hoffnung und Verbundenheit und als Zeitzeugnis aufbewahrt werden.

Pigments through the Ages

Paintings are made from mud and a stick with hairs…

Pigments are the basis of all paints, and have been used for millennia. They are ground colored material. Early pigments were simply as ground earth or clay, and were made into paint with spit or fat. Modern pigments are often sophisticated masterpieces of chemical engineering.

This exhibit includes most important pigments used through the early 20th century.

Zen Paintings & Calligraphy

An important point in the appreciation of Zen art is the idea that the character and spiritual power of the monk or nun is transmitted into the painting by the concentration of the artist at the time it was brushed. In Japanese this spiritual quality is called bokki. This art is intended to be appreciated not only with your eyes, but with your feeling and intuition as well.

Leaves of Gold: Treasures of Manuscript Illumination


Book of Hours for Roman Use
Date: c. 1445-1450 / Medium: Gold and tempera on vellum

„Hidden in the collections of Philadelphia libraries is an unexpected treasure—a rich trove of more than 7,000 medieval and Renaissance miniature paintings showing religious scenes, classical tales, historical events, and medieval romances. Many have never been on public display, or even studied by scholars.“

Leaves of Gold – illuminated manuscripts from Philadelphia libraries. Enjoy!

iKlimt – The Life and Work of Gustav Klimt

iKlimt is an evocative, beautifully designed interactive site about the life and work of Gustav Klimt.

A very serene interface with music, a nice compilation of klimt’s artwork, and well-written essays about the Austrian artist. If you’re viewing a painting, you can select a magnifying tool and a small viewing window appears, which you can drag across parts of the painting to see details close up.
