Today im in vienna, tracing the 1st steps of one particularly beloved 19th century royal and the empress elizabeth or cities is famous for eccentricities. She had attached to work tired and drunk wine to breakfast every day. The women who went against the great, theres something enticing about this empress, you want it more than just to produce errors. But what is it exactly the drama, the 5 take events in her life as a love affair, she was assassinated when she was 61 years old. All this is an except for fascination. My 1st stop of the day is the whole work imperial palace. This was the Political Center of the monarchy and today it feels the same role, the democratic republic, every former austria and imprison amber and live here, including city. Of course, our old rooms have been turned into museum. And since i admit, simply had never heard of sissy before, i moved to germany. I think i better start here. First of all, who actually was impressed elizabeth, or 62 of them for as the wife was in preference joseph. So she was a member of the have spoken to steve, you repeating a royal dignity which actually was one of the leading families of europe perhaps. But then pile 3rd time in germany and austria says he is an icon. Her life has inspired several films. Im guessing the feeling that people have this kind of obsession with her. Why do you think thats it . The more we get distant from her actually lifetimes of the more she becomes that of the cultural phenomena. Because during your lifetime, she mullis withdrew from public life as she poured all the conservative traditions of hapsburg court. Where is now the issues more as a symbol of this so hops for dentistry. Ah, shes like the iconic hapsburg of all the time. Although she actually was a complete misspeak during her life times in the palace turned to museum. You can see the gymnastics after us, but she used every morning as well as her bath tub. Since the apparently took warm box and olive oil, she spent much of her time in her private rooms. Here. My next stop is viennas empress elizabeth memorial in the folks garton here. Im meeting also interest guide. Were not a whole fella. I think she was looking for a real and real personal happiness. But everything that she could find at the cords was 15 s rules and she have to present and settling and to put for the children of course, male children. So she was reduced to that and she was criticized all the time for everything and how she behaved to us on a rec 6 for nowadays we know it is rotating in unhappiness in not being understood in, in the psychological problems. Were not, it takes me to shouldnt tell us. It was the summer residence of the hapsburg family. So she spent a lot of time here. So did so she actually wants to be and in fact, i dont think so. She loved, she fell in love with francis joseph. Yeah. And she, i think she wanted to have a good marriage. Yeah. Loving marriage. And she told her mother, oh, i wish she was a taylor. So can you tell me but the assassination upstairs . Yeah, she was assassinated, find the talent and our kids things while she was traveling to switzerland. He didnt really have anything against her personally, he just wanted to strike the monarchy or the so he, the feudal system, a tragic end to a tragic life. Now that ive learned so much by the empress, her life or history, i want to see if i can get a taste of what her life is like here in vienna for that, im visiting one of the oldest and most for 9 confectionary.

And of course i needed to have consistently aimed to make wearable modern clothes a light on the often time list. But i interesting point percent, and i wanted to find an additional method like 272. 00 sets. May see ive been very subjectively applied. The 1st inspiration from artist low institute, sometimes just colors, sometimes themes and much my eh team and but he needed more. The designer didnt want to simply draw inspiration from the artist. He wanted to work with them. One of his closest collaborations is with japanese architect, soul, food. You multiple color was particularly fascinated by his 2013 temporary installation shown in london, entitled the serpent team gallery pavilion is done pen for this advice.

Thats the swift designers mano. And thats why visitors to is exhibition even sometimes gets a try on the catch me, your coats the the habit and the lord of the rings are 2 of the most popular works by the author, j. R. R. Tolkien. But which really places served as models or inspiration for the fantastic all settings in the books. British author and talking expert john garth shares, some of his knowledge magical landscape transposed into this cinematic version of people are a fictional fantasy world. World war between good and evil is being waged on a grand scale in the hobbit and lord of the rings. British author, j. R. R. Tolkien thought up this sitting for his novels and described it in detail. But he himself spent most of his life in oxford. In his book, the world of j. R. R. Tolkien. John garth describes what places inspired the british fantasy officer. This is not in college, but what i told him was professor of english language and literature from 1945. This was when he was just nearing the end of writing a lot of the rings. He was writing the last 2 books, including the battle scenes administering, which is a fantastic medieval city. And if youre inside the inside, the called the called rankles. Its very much like the inside of mid equal city. But oxford wasnt the only source of inspiration for minnes, tara, the capital of gun door. Literary works also played a role such as to define comedy by dante a getting. This is an interpretation by italian painter, son joe book the challenge. He just use whatever was convenient to him. He use the scenery around oaks that the bowers, the Standing Stones in in the hills rattled and things like that. He used, i believe, memory scenes from weeks he had been on so confused, memories, fantasy and reality together. And one place that surely inspired him was barrington folly tower. Near oxford, it resembles the towers of the elves or the tower of the sorcerer ceremony in eyes and gar. So this is found to fully in 1936, a painting of the tower, and the landscape is used by shell oil and its petrol advertising and the notion. So he set them tilting paintings. And now very famous pictures. Hope it some of the hill web Bilbo Baggins lives and i believe strongly that if you look at that painting and you can see distinct similarities the dylan, the landscapes of the english countryside tokens, childhood also influenced his image of the shire home to the hobbins. His idea of sub it houses overgrown with grass, possibly came from tales that iceland to go. Paris told his sons about trolls and pete covered houses. So places he had never seen himself also made their way into his fantasy world tokens and travel much. But i think that was actually for practical reasons. He had a very, very memorable trip to switzerland and 1911. And i believe he actually went up the river rolling to get there on the, on the boat. And both of these things seem to have inspired a great deal of as well. He wrote, i mean, any, any mountain scene in the whole bunch of Little Things goes back to that swiss trip in 19 on one place. And this was else that stuck in tokens, memory was the picturesque town of allowed to put on in the rift valley home to the elms was modeled after it. Later in the films, more visual touches were added and tokens, voyage through the rind. Valley also appears in his books when the and when river. The pillars of the kings in arkansas may have been inspired by ancient statues, perhaps of egyptian barrows the and there was one more source of inspiration to be found in oxford. This is a todd, very famous public lynch while were talking on is friends, including c. S. Lewis, the known it is used to meet every tuesday. They also they, they would do other things. They went to a country woods. Sometimes they went on working trips, and i think some of that said into the descriptions of the hobbits working in the shop. Even when the hobbits track through the scenery of new zealand, the influences of oxford shared a clear to see with his books g r r token, laid the foundation for the visually stunning world.
