About Me

My photo
Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

Villa Stuck and Alte Pinakothek


 I visited the Villa Stuck and the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. I particularly was fond of Von Stuck's artist's altar on the upper story, featuring a kind of shrine to his painting Die Sünde. Workers are in the process of revamping the Pinakothek, so a number of galleries have blocked access.
