Photographer's Note
Baron Samuel von Brukenthal (1721-1803) was the only exponent of the Saxon community of Transylvania who was assigned important public positions in the Austrian state led by Empress Maria Teresa (1717-1780), the first position being that of Chancellor of the Court. from Transylvania.
The period he spent in Vienna as such coincides with the period of creation of his collection of paintings, mentioned in 1773 in the Vienna Almanac as one of the most valuable private collections that could be admired in the Viennese cultural environment of the time.
The original collections of Baron von Brukenthal (consisting of an art gallery, a printing press, a library and a numismatic collection) were born mainly between 1759 and 1774. Little is known about its constitution, the first records of acquisitions of paintings from the documents of the Brukenthal family appeared in 1770, when the nucleus of the art gallery should already be formed.
Appointed Governor of the Grand Principality of Transylvania, a position he held between 1777 and 1787, Samuel von Brukenthal built a late Baroque palace in Sibiu, modeled after the Viennese palaces.
Sibiu's National Brukenthal Museum is based in the city's main square, the Piata Mare, in the former palace of Samuel Von Brukenthal. The collections were exposed to the public in 1817, that is to say, it is the oldest private foundation in the country. It is a set of six museums, located everywhere in Sibiu. The art galleries are inside the Brukenthal palace, and you can admire more than 1,200 paintings and sculptures by the great European masters.
They date from the 15th to 18th centuries. The palace also houses the library with 300,000 documents, some of which are very valuable. The other museums are the history museum and the pharmacology museum, installed in the oldest pharmacy in the city.

El período que pasó en Viena como tal coincide con el período de creación de su colección de pinturas, mencionada en 1773 en el Almanaque de Viena como una de las colecciones privadas más valiosas que podrían admirarse en el entorno cultural vienes de la época.
Las colecciones originales del barón von Brukenthal (que consisten en una galería de arte, una imprenta, una biblioteca y una colección numismática) nacieron principalmente entre 1759 y 1774. Poco se sabe sobre su constitución, los primeros registros de adquisiciones de pinturas de los documentos de la familia Brukenthal aparecidas en 1770, cuando ya debía estar formado el núcleo de la pinacoteca.

Hello Luis,
This is a building I remember very well, and it's located at one of the finest squares in all of Romania, in my opinion. The weather was obviously not perfect, judging from the wet ground and two umbrellas, but the light was still good enough and the colours turned out nicely.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Luis
I might have missed this square as it does not look immediately familiar. Oh well maybe one day when covid is just a bad memory I might be able to revisit Romania. The wet weather has brought out the colours. Tfs!

Hola Luis,
This is a beautiful building by its style, its colours and its decorations. You have cropped the scene perfectly so that it fills the space and allows nothing to act as a distraction.
The weather was not the best for photography, judging by the umbrellas and wet road, yet you have managed a very sharp photograph with well saturated colours.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hola Luis,
beautiful facade. I am very impressed by how well you have handled the bad weather and challenging light conditions.
You have well recorded the rainy mood also with the person holding the umbrella.
The colors are so well pronounced in spite of difficult light.
The national flag adds nice colorful touch as well.
Very well done,

Hello Luis,
Probably one of the most attractive buildings in Sibiu. The palace has many beautiful architectural details. I noticed that even pigeons liked this palace because you can see them sitting on the facade of the building.
Classical shot in perfect quality in this rainy day.
Best regards,
Zbigniew
