EXTRACURRICULAR

ROSALBA CARRIERA – Perfection in Pastel in Dresden

Some artists are simply known by their first name Leonardo and Michelangelo being the most famous. However, there are also female painters of great acclaim of whom Artemisia is probably the most well-known. But there is one other female artist whose first name was enough to make you swoon: Rosalba.
Three hundred and fifty years after Rosalba Carriera’s birth her name again is the talk of the town, especially when this town is Dresden.

BOOKS & LITERARY EVENTS

Dominican Bookstore in Maastricht

In December 2006 a bookstore was established for the first time in Maastricht’s 13th century Dominican Church, right in the centre of town. After the intensive restoration of the monument, architectural firm Merkx & Girod designed the interior of the bookstore with 1200m2 of retail space – in spite of the fact that there was only 850m2 of floor space available. The architects wanted to emphasize the height and space of Gothic architecture. They saw the solution for this in a monumental walk-in bookcase with multiple floors, placed asymmetrically in the church.
